Messages runtime change
The system allows to customize messages at runtime, making them using dynamic parts even connected to PLC variables.This customization takes place during the pages preload and it’s controlled by the “extra.ini” configuration file available to the user by a toolbar button inside the GF_Project messages editor
The following featured and limitations are available:Any kind of string can be changed, if existingMessages to be composed dynamically can make use of placeholders by the symbols %1, %2…%nPlaceholders can be replaced by constant values or PLC variables values (PLC CONST constants are not supported)Translation costs can be lowered by reducing the messages count, grouping the similar strings and creating them at runtimeThe modification doesn’t get any effect to the messages database on disk or inside the projectThe modification takes place in memory and only for the current active languageTo apply modifications on a new active language a system restart is required
