You can totally customize ViaJCart™ to your liking or translate it to another language by modifying JSCStrings.ini file. This file is located in the same directory as .class files.

The first 8 lines have a special process associated with them. The rest of the file contains regular character strings.

You can only replace strings in this file.

Important: You can NOT add, remove, or insert new lines into this file. Every character string must be on specific line. The length of the string can be different. Make sure it will fit into the screen correctly though.

bulletLoad/Wait messages

Please Wait

When you click on the start button ViaJCart opens windows and displays messages while customer waits for the cart to load. You can totally customize these messages. The first 8 lines define these messages.

The first line defines the size and color of the window.
Format: Width;Height;Red;Green;Blue

Width is the width of the window in pixels, Height is the height of the window in pixels, and Red, Green, and Blue specify a background color.

Example: 500;300;0;0;0
Black background size of 500x300.

Next seven lines define character string messages in the following format:

CCSSTTString;CCSSTTString;CCSSTTString;CCSSTTString
CCSSTTString;CCSSTTString;CCSSTTString

Each message is separated by ‘;’. You can have up to 200 total messages (up to 50 on each line).

The first six characters specify control information and the rest of the line is a character string itself.

Line Format: CCSSTTString... or * if you want to bypass this line. The ‘*’ character is used as a placeholder here.

CC - Two positions for color: Choose from 30 preset colors. Click here for your color choices

SS - Size of characters

Example: 12 or 14 for regular size and 24 or 30 for large. The best thing to experiment and see what happens.

TT - Time interval between next message in tenth of a second.

Example:
50 means 5 seconds
99 means 9.9 seconds - this is the maximum that you can have
10 one second
05 half second
01 one tenth of a second - the smallest value

String is any string that will fit into a window.

Next line Defines Divisor character. In United States it is ‘.’ In many places in Europe it is a ‘,’ . Some countries use the whole numbers.

Format of line 9:  Divisor=character
Example to produce 50.34
Divisor=.

Example to produce 50,34
Divisor=,

Example to use the whole number without decimal line 12345
Divisor=0
