SetUIString Method
Changes a string shown to the end-user.
TData.SetUIString Index, text
Method applies to TData control and TDataLite control.
Arguments: Index is one of the TDStringEnum constants, identifying a string that appears in the True DataControl end-user interface (button tooltips, Find and Bookmarks dialogs, confirmation and error messages).
Text is a String value that is substituted instead of the standard TData control string for the particular user-interface element identified by the Index argument.
Return Value: None
This method allows you to customize and/or localize (for languages other than English) any string presented by the TData control to the end-user. The only exception is the message box caption, which is governed by a special property, ErrorMsgCaption.
