Adding a Generic Language Support Component

  • Article

When you design a language support component, you must add in the language support extended properties to your component.

To add a generic language support component

  1. In Component Designer, create and define your font component.

    Create and set the repository for your component if the component is based on a file that is not part of the Windows XP Embedded component database.

  2. In the details pane, in the Prototype box, choose Browse. The Select Prototype Component dialog box appears.

  3. Select the Language Infrastructure Prototype component to use.

  4. Choose OK.

  5. Add the following extended property to your component:

    • Property Name: cmiLangModuleType
    • Property Format: Integer
    • Property Value: 5 (for generic)

    For information, see Extended Properties in Windows XP Embedded Studio Help.

  6. Add the following membership groups to your font component:

    • A membership to the appropriate group.
    • A membership to the <Language Name> Language Extended Support dependency group. For example, for Japanese, add a membership to the Japanese Language Extended Support dependency group.

  7. Import the .sld file for your new component into the component database using Component Database Manager.

  8. In Target Designer, verify that your component is included in the configuration during the dependency check process. After you have imported your component into the component database, that component is always included in your configuration whenever you include the language support component that has a dependency on it.
