Method ilcd.Extra.setMessageNameSuffix

static void setMessageNameSuffix(String suffix)

Throws:

_INSERT_METHOD_SIGNATURE_HERE_

Parameter	Range	Description
suffix	up to 4 ASCII chars (0x01 .. 0xFF)	string to be suffix

Sets a suffix of case-sensitive string characters, which will be put after any subsequently sent message name (see Draw.writeTextMessage(int)).

This functionality can be used to support multiple languages without conditional methods or macros. For example, if the message names for the English language are suffixed with "_en" and for the German language with "_de", the method

Draw.writeTextMessage("message");

would display the message "message_en" or "message_de", dependent on the prior defined message suffix.
When addressing text messages by index, an offset can be used to realize language switching. (see Extra.setMessageOffset(int)).
Remove any previously set Message Name Suffix by entering an empty string as suffix:

Extra.setMessageNameSuffix("");
The default value for suffix is an empty string. It will be automatically set to default on startup and by the methods General.resetAll() or General.rebootPanelController() if the "Extras on Reset" option on the "Settings" page of iLCD Manager XEJoC Manager is set to "Clear". Selecting "Keep" allows for using the reset methods without loosing e.g. the selected language.

Example

Extra.setMessageNameSuffix("_en");

Set the message name suffix to "_en" and will subsequently only call a message that end with these characters.
