    1.34 -Utility that provides methods to load and format resource strings.
    1.35 -String Loader API provides an interface to load and format resource strings
    1.36 -that may contain parameter(s) (\%U for (unicode) text or or \%N for numerical).
    1.37 -Resource strings are usually defined in an RSS file.
    1.38 -
    1.39 -The API consists of the TulTextResourceUtils class. All methods are static, so there is
    1.40 -no need to explicitly allocate memory for the interface class.
    1.41 -The implementation needs a CCoeEnv instance to access for example the
    1.42 -resource files.
    1.43 -
    1.44 -
    1.45 -Usage:
    1.46 -
    1.47 -Applications load and format resource strings from normal resources with
    1.48 -static methods of the TulTextResourceUtils class. The loading is done with the LoadL
    1.49 -and LoadLC methods and with the Load method in situations where memory
    1.50 -allocation from the heap is not possible. Formatting is done automatically
    1.51 -after loading in the LoadL and LoadLC methods, but it can also be done
    1.52 -separately with the Format method in situations where memory allocation from
    1.53 -the heap is not possible. For reading the resource strings with the Load,
    1.54 -LoadL and LoadLC methods, the user should provide a pointer to CCoeEnv for
    1.55 -efficiency reasons. If the pointer is not provided, the implementation uses
    1.56 -the CCoeEnv::Static method internally to get it.
    1.57 -
    1.58 -Different size displays can handle different length strings. To take full
    1.59 -advantage of this fact, TulTextResourceUtils supports resource strings with multiple
    1.60 -options for strings, separated by the character 0x0001. Each such string can
    1.61 -contain the same or different sub string keys (\%U and \%N). TulTextResourceUtils returns
    1.62 -all strings, it is the responsibility of the caller to parse the result and
    1.63 -choose the proper string to display.
    1.64 -
    1.65 -Setting the maximum sub string length may be done in the text resources. Sub
    1.66 -string maximum lengths can be localized separately for every language.
    1.67 -The maximum sub string length is of the format: \%U[NN]
    1.68 -where NN is a number [01..99]. Please note that NN must always consist of two
    1.69 -characters, i.e. if the sub string maximum length is eight characters, the
    1.70 -value to be used is 08, not plain 8. If the number of characters exceeds the
    1.71 -maximum length, the sub string is cut to fit and the last character is
    1.72 -replaced with an ellipsis character.
    1.73 -
    1.74 -The following examples describe the usage of the String Loader API.
    1.75 -
    1.76 -Usage when one TInt is added:
    1.77 -
    1.78 -@code
    1.79 - // In .loc -file
    1.80 - // #define text_example "You have %N undone tasks."
    1.81 -
    1.82 - // In .rss -file
    1.83 - // RESOURCE TBUF r_text_example { buf = text_example; }
    1.84 -
    1.85 - // (In the .cpp -file)
    1.86 - #include <coeutils.h>
    1.87 -
    1.88 - // Get CCoeEnv instance
    1.89 - CEikonEnv* iEikonEnv = CEikonEnv::Static();
    1.90 -
    1.91 - TInt number(324);
    1.92 -
    1.93 - // Method reads a resource string with memory allocation
    1.94 - // and replaces the first %N-string in it with replacement TInt.
    1.95 - // The heap descriptor must be destroyed when it is no longer needed.
    1.96 - // iEikonEnv is needed for loading the resource string.
    1.97 - HBufC* stringholder = TulTextResourceUtils::LoadL(R_TEXT_EXAMPLE, number, iEikonEnv);
    1.98 -
    1.99 - // The 'number' is added to the resource string. The result is
   1.100 - // that stringholder points to a heap descriptor containing string:
   1.101 - // "You have 324 undone tasks."
   1.102 -
   1.103 - // Delete the heap descriptor
   1.104 - delete stringholder;
   1.105 -@endcode
   1.106 -
   1.107 -
   1.108 -Usage when several strings are added:
   1.109 -
   1.110 -An index can be included to parameters. Several parameters can have same index
   1.111 -if the same replacement is needed multiple times.
   1.112 -
   1.113 -@code
   1.114 - // In .loc -file
   1.115 - // #define text_example "I'm %2U%1U %3U%0U fine."
   1.116 -
   1.117 - // In .rss -file
   1.118 - // RESOURCE TBUF r_text_example { buf = text_example; }
   1.119 -
   1.120 - // In the .cpp -file
   1.121 - #include <coeutils.h>
   1.122 -
   1.123 - // Get CCoeEnv instance
   1.124 - CEikonEnv* iEikonEnv = CEikonEnv::Static();
   1.125 -
   1.126 - CDesCArrayFlat* strings = new CDesCArrayFlat(4);
   1.127 - CleanupStack::PushL(strings);
   1.128 -
   1.129 - strings->AppendL(_L("orking")); //First string
   1.130 -
   1.131 - strings->AppendL(_L("ll")); //Second string
   1.132 -
   1.133 - strings->AppendL(_L("sti")); //Third string
   1.134 -
   1.135 - strings->AppendL(_L("w")); //Fourth string
   1.136 -
   1.137 - // Method reads a resource string with memory allocation and replaces
   1.138 - // the %(index)U strings in it with replacement strings from an array.
   1.139 - // The heap descriptor must be destroyed when it is no longer needed.
   1.140 - // iEikonEnv is needed for loading the resource string.
   1.141 - HBufC* stringholder = TulTextResourceUtils::LoadL(R_TEXT_EXAMPLE, *strings, iEikonEnv);
   1.142 -
   1.143 - // Four strings are added to the resource string. The result is
   1.144 - // that stringholder points to a heap descriptor containing string:
   1.145 - // "I'm still working fine."
   1.146 -
   1.147 - // Pop and delete strings array
   1.148 - CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy();
   1.149 -
   1.150 - // Delete the heap descriptor
   1.151 - delete stringholder;
   1.152 -@endcode
   1.153 -
   1.154 -
   1.155 -Usage with scalable UI support:
   1.156 -
   1.157 -@code
   1.158 - // In .loc -file
   1.159 - // #define TEXT_EXAMPLE "You have missed %N messages from %U."<0x0001>"Missed %N msgs from %U."<0x0001>"Missed %N msgs."
   1.160 -
   1.161 - // In .rss -file
   1.162 - // RESOURCE TBUF R_TEXT_EXAMPLE { buf = TEXT_EXAMPLE; }
   1.163 -
   1.164 - // In the .cpp -file
   1.165 - #include <coeutils.h>
   1.166 -
   1.167 - // Get CCoeEnv instance
   1.168 - CEikonEnv* iEikonEnv = CEikonEnv::Static();
   1.169 -
   1.170 - TInt number(12);
   1.171 - _LIT(name, "John Doe");
   1.172 -
   1.173 - // Method reads a resource string with memory allocation,
   1.174 - // replaces all %N strings in it with a replacement TInt and
   1.175 - // all %U strings in it with a replacement string.
   1.176 - // The heap descriptor must be destroyed  when it is no longer needed.
   1.177 - // iEikonEnv is needed for loading the resource string.
   1.178 - HBufC stringholder = TulTextResourceUtils::LoadL(R_TEXT_EXAMPLE, name, number, iEikonEnv);
   1.179 -
   1.180 - // The number and name are added to the resource string. The result is
   1.181 - // that stringholder points to a heap descriptor containing string:
   1.182 - // "You have missed 12 messages from John Doe.\001Missed 12 msgs from John
   1.183 - // Doe.\001Missed 12 msgs."
   1.184 -
   1.185 - // Delete the heap descriptor
   1.186 - delete stringholder;
   1.187 -@endcode
   1.188 -
   1.189 -
   1.190 -Error handling:
   1.191 -
   1.192 -The leave mechanism of the Symbian OS environment is used to handle memory
   1.193 -exhaustion. The panic mechanism is used to handle programming errors while
   1.194 -debugging. TulTextResourceUtils panics for seven different reasons. The panic 
   1.195 -category is named TulTextResourceUtils. The panic codes are:
   1.196 -
   1.197 -- ETooFewArguments        = 0 (Unsolved parameters in resource string.)
   1.198 -- ETooManyArguments       = 1 (Already solved all parameters in  resource string.)
   1.199 -- EKeyStringNotFound      = 2 (The key string wasn't found in formatting.)
   1.200 -- EInvalidIndex           = 3 (Invalid index in Format-method)
   1.201 -- EDescriptorTooSmall     = 4 (Too small destination descriptor.)
   1.202 -- ECCoeEnvNotInitialized  = 5 (CCoeEnv is not initialized)
   1.203 -- EInvalidSubstitute      = 6 (Substituted string contains KSubStringSeparator)
