Public Function FindString(ByVal StringID As Variant) As String

Description

This method retrieves a string from the string_db table, using either the name or the ID of the string.

These correspond to the fields ID and name in the string_db table.

The string_db table is cached in the FCApplication object, so this method does not cause a database round-trip.

Parameters

Parameter Name	Required?	Description
StringID	Yes	A string ID number or name.

Returns

The retrieved string if one is found, else an empty string.

Error Codes

Value	Meaning
10005	Invalid Input Type - Must be String or Integer.
10006	Input String must not be empty.
10007	Input Integer must not be < 0.

Examples

The following example shows both ways of using the  FindString method to display an error message.

JavaScript:

<%
var ErrorMessageByID = FCApp.FindString(2343);
var ErrorMessageByName = FCApp.FindString("ERR_DBS_NO_DEFAULT_WIPBIN");
%>

Error By ID: <%=ErrorMessageByID%>
<BR>
Error By Name: <%=ErrorMessageByName%>
