Add-in for Visual BASIC 6 Files
With this add-in, SDL Passolo can automatically read and write Visual BASIC 6 projects and forms. Settings for this add-in are not necessary.
When Visual BASIC 6 project files (*.VBP) are added to the Passolo project, Passolo analyzes the VBP file and adds any form files (*.FRM) contained in the VBP. It is also possible to add form files (*.FRM) individually, as required.
The import of the FRM file falls into two areas. On the one hand, the dialog is extracted and can then be displayed and edited with the aid of the Passolo dialog editor.
In addition, any strings within the source string area that are enclosed in double quotes are also extracted. This ensures that any "hard coded" strings can also be translated. The IDs of the dialog elements are taken from the FRM file, whereas the IDs for the hard coded strings correspond to the line numbers in the source code that contain the relevant strings.
