Description

FillItem is a method used to store values passed in the specified arguments to the TPOFileItem instance in CurrentItem. If CurrentItem is Nil, a new TPOFileItem instance is created and used to stored the argument values. It is added to the Items in the class instance.

FillItem retrieves an existing TPOFileItem instance in Items and merges its properties into the values in CurrentItem. The value in CurrentItem is subsequently used to replace the translation entry in Items.

FillItem is used in methods like ReadPOText and UpdateItem in TPOFile.
