ShortDescriptionChar (Magic xpa 4.x)

This environment setting allows for the support of multiple language comments.

This setting is available only by manually setting it in the [MAGIC_ENV] section of the Magic.ini file. (It is not available from the Environment dialog box.)

This setting lets you define two descriptions in the comment, such as “/J JapaneseText J/” and “/E EnglishText E/” and then defining “J” or “E” in the ini.

Behavior:

• The text between /* */ is always shown.

• The text between /X X/ strings is shown only if X is specified at the ini.

• For example - If the comment is:

abc

/* aaa */

/J jjj J/

/E eee E/

Then:

• If the ‘ShortDescriptionChar=J', then the short description (tooltip) will be:

aaa

jjj

• If the ‘ShortDescriptionChar=' (blank or does not exist), then the short description (tooltip) will be:

aaa

(the ‘/J J/’ and ‘/E E/’ will not be shown).
