Description _ pkuzel 2002-05-23 16:19:06 UTC
Hi Petr,

I wanted to add some explanatory text to the
property editors in the
I18N expert properties. In each of the dialog
boxes, I would like to
replace the text before the text field with the
text below. I would also
like to replace "Arguments" with "Variables",
since they are all
variables and they are only used as arguments in
two of the dialog
boxes. Please let me know what you think and I
will make the changes.

Also, in the I18N Search Format property editor,
can we add //NOI18N to
the list of variables? I remember it being there
but now it's not there
any more. Thanks.

-John

It requires replacing all JLabels by JTextAreas because new text is
too long.
Comment 2 _ pkuzel 2002-05-29 13:35:40 UTC
Tried to go ahead and failed because I could not assign mnemonics to
JTextArea that would focus the combo.

Passing to UI engineers to design proper solution.
Context: HelpStringCustomEditor in i18n module.
