Set Message Name Suffix

\i X S T string::suffix

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

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

  \iDt\mmessage\0

  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 Set Message Offset).
• Remove any previously set Message Name Suffix by entering an empty string as suffix:

  \iXST\0
• The default value for suffix is an empty string. It will be automatically set to default on startup and by the commands Reset All or Reboot Panel Controller if the "Extras on Reset" option on the "Settings" page of iLCD Manager XE is set to "Clear". Selecting "Keep" allows for using the reset commands without loosing e.g. the selected language. This setting is ignored in firmware versions < 3.02.

Example

\iXST_en\0

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