#### Loading Strings from PC-DMIS

Similar to how you can change the text color for a cell in the "Changing Expression Text Color" topic, the Reporting expression language lets you pull strings from PC-DMIS's current running language by using this expression:

=LOADSTR(<integer expression>)

This function takes a single parameter, an integer number that corresponds to the value of a string located in resource.dll or strings.dll.

- A positive number pulls the string from the resource.dll file.

- A negative number pulls the string from the strings.dll file.

If you type this function in the Cell Expression box (or cell) of the GridControlObject, click OK, and then click outside of the object. PC-DMIS evaluates the expression and returns the string assigned to the specified integer value.

Note: This functionality was added primarily so that the label templates that ship with PC-DMIS use string data from your current language.
