Add-Ons

 

The RC-WinTrans localization environment comes integrated with Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).  Together with the RC-WinTrans component object model, VBA technology helps make RC-WinTrans customizable, extendable, open for new solutions and capable of meeting changing requirements in software localization and workflow processes.

 

Add-ons are program utilities that enhance a primary program.  In RC-WinTrans, it is a software component that extends the application’s functionality.

 

Technically, an RC-WinTrans add-on is a VBA macros file (file extension = .macro) that has at least one procedure implemented that is to be executed.  The functionality is coded using Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) and can do virtually anything a user (third-party manufacturer or Schaudin.com) needs it to do in order to extend RC-WinTrans’ capabilities to suit their particular requirements.

 

RC-WinTrans add-ons extend RC-WinTrans’ existing capabilities to carry out specialized tasks and functions not already included in the application.  Add-ons have their own menu in RC-WinTrans to access the specified functionality (see Add-On menu, below).  The integration is seamless and can be realized with a minimum of time, cost and effort thanks to RC-WinTrans’ advanced technological design.

Activating an Add-On for Use in RC-WinTrans

To activate an add-on, simply copy the add-on (the VBA macros file with the file extension *.macro) to the “Add-Ons” folder in the RC-WinTrans installation directory:

 <Install Dir>\RC-WinTrans\RC-WinTrans 10\Add-Ons\

 

Once the add-on is available in/accessible from the “Add-Ons” folder, RC-WinTrans will automatically load the add-on into its VBA system at start-up.

 

Accessing Add-On Functionality: The Add-On Menu

The special functionality of a given add-on is accessed via RC-WinTrans’s Add-On menu (see figure below).  An add-on component usually adds one or more menu items (commands) to the Add-On menu.

 

NOTE:  The Add-On menu is available since March 2007 (Version 8.5.3.x).  Previous versions of RC-WinTrans do not have an Add-On menu.
