The following macros are used in a language loop, which is a block of text delimited by the $$BEGINLOOP(NUM_LANGS) and $$ENDLOOP directives.
Macro | Type | Description |
LANGUAGE | text | Name of language (for example, "U.S. English"). |
LANG_SUFFIX | text | Three-letter abbreviation of language (for example, "ENU"). |
HLP_DIR_LOC | text | Name of directory to be created in the generated project, which will contain the localized elements of the application's context-sensitive help (for example, "HLP\ENU"; in an application with only one language, this is always "HLP"). |
RES_DIR_LOC | text | Name of directory to be created in the generated project, which will contain those files included by the application's .RC file that are localized (for example, "RES\ENU"; in an application with only one language, this is always "RES"). |
RES_DIR_LOC_DBLSLASH | text | Same as RES_DIR_LOC, except any backslashes are doubled (for example, "RES\\ENU"; again, this is always "RES" in an application with only one language). |
MFC_DIR_LOC | text | Name of directory that contains the localizable resources the application will include from MFC. All backslashes are doubled. (For example, "L.FRA\\"; all English resources from MFC are in the main include directory. This macro expands to "" in the case of English.) |
LANG_PREAMBLE | text | Code that is inserted in the application's .RC file, which precedes a localized resource.
For example:
(In an application with only one language, this is "".) |
LANG_PREAMBLE_INQUOTES | text | Same as LANG_PREAMBLE, except each line is tabbed and enclosed in quotes:
For example:
|
LANG_POSTAMBLE | text | Code that's inserted in the application's .RC file, which follows a localized resource.
For example:
(In an application with only one language, this is "".) |
LANG_POSTAMBLE_INQUOTES | text | Same as LANG_POSTAMBLE, except each line is tabbed and enclosed in quotes:
For example:
(In an application with only one language, this is "".) |
NUM_LANGS | text | The number of languages the user has chosen. (Commonly used as the argument to $$BEGINLOOP.) |
MULTIPLE_LANGS | BOOL | Whether the user chose more than one language. Currently, never defined. Reserved for future use. |
USE_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE | text | If you set this dictionary value to be non-blank, the default language will be automatically chosen for you as the only choice when working with the Language Loop macros. If you do not set this macro and do not call SetSupportedLanguages, iterating over the language loops will give you entries for each language you have an apwz*.dll for on your system. |
