Scan method

Scan method

Use this sheet to specify the scan method of Delphi project localization source.

Scan method

Specifies the scan method. Possible values are:

Value Description Compability
Application or library file If checked, Soluling extracts the forms and resource strings from the compiled application or library files. You can use resource strings in your application.
When building, Soluling creates a .ntres file using file version 2.
This works only if you use Delphi 10.4 Sydney, Delphi 11 Alexandria or later.
Source code If checked, Soluling extracts the form and strings from the source code. You cannot use resource strings but you need to use Soluling's translate function (e.g. _T).
When building, Soluling creates a .ntres file using file version 1.
All FireMonkey compatible Delphi versions.

Source code string options

If you check Scan source code to find string comments, Soluling scans the comment values of resource string items. Enter the comment tag name(s) to the edit box. Separate multiple names with a semicolon (;).

Configurations and scan files

Specifies the Delphi output files (application or library) that Soluling scans to extract forms and resource strings. Check first the configuration(s) and then the output files.

This is visible only if the scan method is Application or library.
