Custom Data Entry Menus


In CSPro 4.1.002, you can customize the menus of the data entry application, CSEntry, to change the menu options to be in the language of your choice, as long as the language can be represented in ASCII characters (most European languages). In the future, when CSPro supports Unicode, all language scripts will be supported.
To override the default text options, you must create a file called csentry.menu and place it either in the Program Files\CSPro 4.1\ folder, or in the folder where the PFF file for your application is located. This file has a format that is easy to follow. For example, to override the File menu text, you would place this text in the file:
File=Fichier
File_Open=Ouvrir une application
File_OpenDat=Ouvrir un fichier de données
File_Save=Sauvegarde partielle du questionnaire
File_Exit=Fermer
To add shortcut keys, place an ampersand before the shortcut letter. For example:
File=&Fichier
File_Open=&Ouvrir une application
File_OpenDat=Ouvrir un fichier de &données
File_Save=&Sauvegarde partielle du questionnaire
File_Exit=&Fermer
Placing the file in the Program Files\CSPro 4.1\ folder means that it will affect every single data entry application run on that machine. Alternatively, placing it in a folder with the PFF allows you to have different menus for different users.

Look Forward to in 2012
