XStringResourceResolver
(referenced interface's summary:)
Interface to access strings in a resource. The interface is derived from ::com::sun::star::util::XModifyBroadcaster All registered ::com::sun::star::util::XModifyListener interfaces will be notified if either the current locale changes or if a string is added, changed or removed. This usually will only happen if the implementing object also supports the interface XStringResourceManager and is used in the design mode of a Dialog or String table editor. But also changing the locale at runtime can be supported in this way.
Description
Interface to manage a resource string table containing a set of strings for different locales. The interface is derived from XStringResourceResolver that allows to access the string table but not to modify it. This interface also allows to modify the string table. It's designed to be used in the context of creating a string table, e.g. from a string table editor or from a Dialog Editor designing localized dialogs.

Methods' Summary
isReadOnly Returns the resource's read only state  
setCurrentLocale Sets the locale to be used  
setDefaultLocale Sets the default locale to be used  
setString Associates a String to a Resource ID for the current locale. If an entry for the Resource ID already exists, the string associated with it will be overwritten, otherwise a new entry will be created.  
setStringForLocale Associates a String to a Resource ID for a specific locale. If an entry for the Resource ID already exists, the string associated with it will be overwritten, otherwise a new entry will be created. It's not recommended to use this method to get the best performance as the implementation may be optimized for the use of the current locale.  
removeId Removes a Resource ID including the corresponding string for the current locale.  
removeIdForLocale Removes a Resource ID including the corresponding string for s specific locale.  
newLocale Creates a new locale.  
removeLocale Removes a locale completely including the corresponding strings for each locale.  
getUniqueNumericId Provides a numeric id that is unique within all Resource IDs used in the string table. This method takes into account all Resource IDs starting with a decimal number and only evaluates the ID until the first non digit character is reached. This allows to extend unique IDs with individual identifiers without breaking the mechanism of this method. Examples: ID "42" -> numeric id 42 ID "0foo" -> numeric id 0 ID "111.MyId.Something.Else" -> numeric id 111 ID "No Digits" -> not considered for numeric id The id returned will be 0 for an empty string table and it will be reset to 0 if all locales are removed. In all other cases this method returns the maximum numeric id used so far at the beginning of a Resource ID incremented by 1. When calling this method more than once always the same number will be returned until this number is really used at the beginning of a new Resource ID passed to setString or setStringForLocale. As the numeric id is guaranteed to be unique for the complete string table all locales are taken into account. So using this methods will force the implementation to load all locale data that may not have been loaded so far.  
Methods' Details
isReadOnly
boolean
isReadOnly();

Description
Returns the resource's read only state
Returns
true if the resource is read only, otherwise false
setCurrentLocale
void
setCurrentLocale( [in] ::com::sun::star::lang::Locale  locale,
[in] boolean  FindClosestMatch )
raises( ::com::sun::star::lang::IllegalArgumentException );

Description
Sets the locale to be used
Parameter aLocale
Specifies the current locale to be used.
Parameter FindClosestMatch

If true: If the exact locale that should be set is not available the method tries to find the closest match. E.g. if en_US is re- quired but not available, en would be the next choice. Finally the default locale will be used true.

If false: If the exact locale that should be set is not available a ::com::sun::star::lang::IllegalArgumentException is thrown.

If false: If the exact locale that should be set is not available a ::com::sun::star::lang::IllegalArgumentException is thrown.

setDefaultLocale
void
setDefaultLocale( [in] ::com::sun::star::lang::Locale  locale )
raises( ::com::sun::star::lang::IllegalArgumentException,
::com::sun::star::lang::NoSupportException );

Description
Sets the default locale to be used
Parameter aLocale
Specifies the default locale to be used. If this locale is not available a ::com::sun::star::lang::IllegalArgumentException is thrown.
Throws
::com::sun::star::lang::NoSupportException if the resource is read only, see isReadOnly
setString
void
setString( [in] string  ResourceID,
[in] string  Str )
raises( ::com::sun::star::lang::NoSupportException );

Description
Associates a String to a Resource ID for the current locale. If an entry for the Resource ID already exists, the string associated with it will be overwritten, otherwise a new entry will be created.
Parameter ResourceID
ID to address the string inside the resource for the current locale.
Parameter Str
String to be associated with the Resource ID.
Throws
::com::sun::star::lang::NoSupportException if the resource is read only, see isReadOnly
setStringForLocale
void
setStringForLocale( [in] string  ResourceID,
[in] string  Str,
[in] ::com::sun::star::lang::Locale  locale )
raises( ::com::sun::star::lang::NoSupportException );

Description
Associates a String to a Resource ID for a specific locale. If an entry for the Resource ID already exists, the string associated with it will be overwritten, otherwise a new entry will be created. It's not recommended to use this method to get the best performance as the implementation may be optimized for the use of the current locale.
Parameter ResourceID
ID to address the string inside the resource.
Parameter Str
String to be associated with the Resource ID.
Parameter locale
The locale the string should be set for. The locale has to match exactly with one of the locales provided by getLocales. A closest match search is not supported.
Throws
::com::sun::star::lang::NoSupportException if the resource is read only, see isReadOnly
removeId
void
removeId( [in] string  ResourceID )
raises( MissingResourceException,
::com::sun::star::lang::NoSupportException );

Description
Removes a Resource ID including the corresponding string for the current locale.
Parameter ResourceID
The Resource ID to be removed for the current locale.
Throws
MissingResourceException if the Resource ID is not valid.
Throws
::com::sun::star::lang::NoSupportException if the resource is read only, see isReadOnly
removeIdForLocale
void
removeIdForLocale( [in] string  ResourceID,
[in] ::com::sun::star::lang::Locale  locale )
raises( MissingResourceException,
::com::sun::star::lang::NoSupportException );

Description
Removes a Resource ID including the corresponding string for s specific locale.
Parameter ResourceID
The Resource ID to be removed.
Parameter locale
The locale the Resource ID should be removed for. The locale has to match exactly with one of the locales provided by getLocales. A closest match search is not supported.
Throws
MissingResourceException if the Resource ID is not valid.
Throws
::com::sun::star::lang::NoSupportException if the resource is read only, see isReadOnly
newLocale
void
newLocale( [in] ::com::sun::star::lang::Locale  locale )
raises( ::com::sun::star::container::ElementExistException,
::com::sun::star::lang::IllegalArgumentException,
::com::sun::star::lang::NoSupportException );

Description
Creates a new locale.

For each existing ResourceID an empty string will be created. The first locale created will automatically be the first default locale. Otherwise strings for all already created IDs will be copied from the default locale.

::com::sun::star::container::ElementExistException if the Locale already has been created.
Throws
::com::sun::star::lang::IllegalArgumentException if the Locale is not valid.
Throws
::com::sun::star::lang::NoSupportException if the resource is read only, see isReadOnly
removeLocale
void
removeLocale( [in] ::com::sun::star::lang::Locale  locale )
raises( ::com::sun::star::lang::IllegalArgumentException,
::com::sun::star::lang::NoSupportException );

Description
Removes a locale completely including the corresponding strings for each locale.
Throws
::com::sun::star::lang::IllegalArgumentException if the Locale to be removed is not supported.
Throws
::com::sun::star::lang::NoSupportException if the resource is read only, see isReadOnly
getUniqueNumericId
long
getUniqueNumericId()
raises( ::com::sun::star::lang::NoSupportException );

Description
Provides a numeric id that is unique within all Resource IDs used in the string table. This method takes into account all Resource IDs starting with a decimal number and only evaluates the ID until the first non digit character is reached. This allows to extend unique IDs with individual identifiers without breaking the mechanism of this method. Examples: ID "42" -> numeric id 42 ID "0foo" -> numeric id 0 ID "111.MyId.Something.Else" -> numeric id 111 ID "No Digits" -> not considered for numeric id The id returned will be 0 for an empty string table and it will be reset to 0 if all locales are removed. In all other cases this method returns the maximum numeric id used so far at the beginning of a Resource ID incremented by 1. When calling this method more than once always the same number will be returned until this number is really used at the beginning of a new Resource ID passed to setString or setStringForLocale. As the numeric id is guaranteed to be unique for the complete string table all locales are taken into account. So using this methods will force the implementation to load all locale data that may not have been loaded so far.
Throws
::com::sun::star::lang::NoSupportException if the next available id exceeds the range of type long. So it's not recommended to use own Resource IDs starting with a decimal number near to the maximum long value if this methods should be used.
