Member Function Documentation

const MString getString ( const MStringResourceId &  id, MStatus &  status  )

static

Retrieve a string resource using a key value.

By default, the string returned will be the default string value provided as part of the string ID and registered via MStringResource::registerString. If a localized value has been provided, it will be returned instead. See also MStringResourceId and MFnPlugin::registerUIString.

Parameters

[in]	id	Resource id of the string to retrieve.
[in]	status	MS::kSuccess if lookup succeeded, otherwise MS::kFailure

Returns

The string if it can be found, the empty string otherwise.

Examples:

MStatus registerString ( const MStringResourceId &  id )

static

Register a plugin string resource.

The MStringResourceId passed in provides all the information required to register the string and to initialize it to its default value.

See also MStringResourceId and MFnPlugin::getUIString.

Parameters

[in]

id

Resource id associated with the string to register.

Returns

MS::kSuccess if registration succeeded, otherwise MS::kFailure
