Declaring global text constants at application level

hav · 2006-04-21

Hi All,
I want to declare generic text constants globally such that they can be accessed from any of the Navision objects.
Can any one help me how to do this.

There is no such thing as application wide variables. You could possibly start a single instance codeunit and access the variables in there, but then you'd have to add access to this codeunit to every object that you want to access it from.

And the singleinstance-codeunit would be like this:
Global textconstants:
txcYes [ITA=Sì;ENU=Yes;NLB=Ja;FRB=Oui;DEU=Ja]
txcNo [ITA=No;ENU=No;NLB=Nee;FRB=Non;DEU=Nein]

1 Function in the singelinstance codeunit:

GetGlobalTextConstant(IcodGlobalTextConstant:code20) : Text1024
BEGIN
  CASE IcodGlobalTextConstant OF
    'YES': EXIT(txcYes);
    'NO': EXIT(txcNo);
    ...and so on...
   ELSE ERROR('Global text constant "%1" does not exist.',IcodGlobalTextConstant);
END;

Example of use in an object:
global variables:
cduGlobalTextContants=codeunit:"The Codeunit"

MESSAGE('Yes in current language=%1',cduGlobalTextContants.GetGlobalTextConstant('YES'));
