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]idResource id of the string to retrieve.
[in]statusMS::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]idResource id associated with the string to register.
Returns
MS::kSuccess if registration succeeded, otherwise MS::kFailure
