Replace with resource strings 

Use this method if you want to replace the existing resource strings with other resource strings that you have defined. This method would be most useful when you don't want to replace all resource strings used with LMD DialogPack. 

To change the localisable resource strings at runtime using the following methods from the JSDialogStrs unit. 

1. GetResourceString
2. ReplaceResourceString
3. InitializeResourceStrings

Replace with strings 

Use this method if you want to replace the used resource strings with regular strings. This method is most useful when using an alternate way to localising an application (such as using dxGetText which is based on GNU GetText). To first use this method you must call the JSDialogUseResourceStrings method in the JSDialogStrs unit and pass it False. 

1. Call JSDialogUseResourceStrings(False) in your application.
2. Call GetResourceString to retrieve a list of all available strings that need to be resourced.
3. Use the overloaded version of ReplaceResourceString to a Resource String value with the new string value.

Reset Resources 

You can reset the resource strings used by LMD DialogPack at any time by calling the InitializeResourceStrings method from JSDialogStrs. Alternatively, when you call the JSDialogUseResourceStrings method, the resources used get reset back to their defaults.
