text_definitions - Text definitions

Most GUI elements support several text elements, which might be displayed as label or text (button text), as tool tip or as extended description (what's this). In contrast to resource definitions (documentation, notices), which contain technical descriptions, GUI text definitions are typically used for providing hints for users.

GUI text definitions might be provided in different languages. When starting a GUI application the language set in the DSC_Language option is used for displaying proper text elements in the application.

Text element defined for GUI resources might be changed within the application by setting layout information (calling ControlContext::layout() or ActionItem::layout() function).
