Presentation
With the attribute .language at the setup-Object after the DM_Initialize.
It is best to do this before the objects become visible and already have text (before DM_StartDialog).
Objects
Texts in the .text and .title attributes are created as objects by the IDM and are given an internal ID.
Strings (e.g. in the attribute .content) are only created as a character string.
Text objects can be provided with multilingual variants and, despite multiple uses, only consume memory once.
Strings do not require an ID, but cannot have variants and consume memory per string.
Starting with version A.06.01.a, strings that occur multiple times are stored internally to save memory.
The number of objects per dialog/module/child objects is approximately 65,000.
These objects can each consist of 65,000 rows. The tablefield also consists of 65,000 columns.
However, limitations could arise beforehand due to the toolkit, which uses the required memory for fonts or images used on the objects (e.g. treeview).
Font sizes and image dimensions influence the number of possible nodes.
Motif:
only about 1000-2000 nodes are possible here.
