Inserting Missing Strings

Movicon provides you with a command to find all the used and missing strings in the different project resources, such as IDs in the String Table. This command, provided for all the project's resources, when executed automatically opens the string editor and adds the missing strings. As normal, only the String IDs will be added leaving the programmer to insert the texts for the different set languages. This allows you to add string IDs to object or resource properties without having to predefine them and then add them to the string table automatically using this command.

This command, "Check Missing Strings", is available as an item from the 'Edit' and 'View' menus and can be found in icon form on the tool bar.

This command only has effect in those resources that are currently selected in the Project Explorer window or screen (and the objects it contains) currently opened in the workspace. This command supports multi-selections, therefore more than one resource can be selected at the same time (even consisting of a mixture of different resources such as alarms and screens) before executing this command. If the project name is slsected in the Project Explorer window before executing the command, the strings will be searched for in all the project resources that support this command.
