Support for Embarcadero Delphi 2009/C++Builder 2009

Radialix 2.09 supports localizing files created with Delphi 2009 and C++Builder 2009. Supported are resources, new data types and RTTI attributes, as well as files using BPL packages. Compiler type for Delphi 2009 and C++Builder 2009 is detected automatically.

Inserting Win32 Resources

In version 2.09, added inserting Win32 resources. The insertion command is available from the project manager's context menu.

The Insert Resource command opens the resource properties dialog.

Supported is the insertion of XP Visual Style Manifest or data from file. The latter case requires name or index of the resource type and the resource itself. In PE files and binary resource files, RES, resources can have name or index between 0 and 65535.

When inserting a visual style manifest, the check whether the application being localized supports  comctl32.dll version 6 is not performed. The working capability of the localized file is to be checked manually.

After the insertion, the new resource and resource type obtains the NU status – New and Added by User. Inserted resources and resource types can be deleted by selecting the Delete Resource item on the context menu of the project manager.

Option “Keep Original Language ID”

In version 2.09, to the options for creating PE files and binary resource files, RES, we have added the Keep Original Language ID option. The option enables copying resource language ID from the  original file to the localized one. If the option is disabled, the language ID is set according to the target language.

Windows Explorer Extension

Unlike in the earlier versions, since version 2.09 the item Localize in Radialix on Windows Explorer's context menu appears only for files supported by Radialix.

The insertion of this item is implemented by installing an extension for the shellex.dll shell.

Installing and removing the extension module may require rebooting the computer.
