VCL rules

Soluling home Document home

Use this sheet to set the rules that specify what properties are scanned from the VCL forms. Each form contains several kinds of components and properties. Not all of them should be localized. Soluling's VCL form parser scans only properties only if there is a match in the scan rules.

If the list shows the default rules of the application, the list contains the property values that, in most cases, should be localized. You can add new properties if you want to localize other kinds of properties, or your application uses 3rd party controls that use custom properties. If the list shows a project or node-specific rule, the list is by default empty. You can add new rules. Remember that Soluling uses a rule chaining, so if the current node does not contain any matching rule, then Soluling uses the rules of the parent node. The fallback is the default rules of the application.
