linking dynamically to string tables from inside a dll 1

[txjump]

hello all,

i created an error handling dialog class inside an application. now i want to move that error handler to a library. the problem is that ive allowed string table IDs to be used in calling the handler.

that was fine when it was all contained in the same app but now it has its own string table and doesnt understand ids from tables outside the dll. is there a way to load/link to the apps string table?

if there isnt i will just convert the ids to strings and pass the strings...but thats not my first choice.

any suggestions would be helpful!
thanks

Try this:

HINSTANCE hInstResClient = ::AfxGetResourceHandle();
// use DLL's res handle
::AfxSetResourceHandle:GetModuleHandle("dllname.dll&quot);
CString strRes;
strRes.LoadString(IDS_STRINGID);
// restore instance handle
::AfxSetResourceHandle(hInstResClient);

thanks gednick!

that was just what i needed. i passed the value from
AfxGetResourceHandle() to the dll and then i used it in this version of loadstring

int LoadString(HINSTANCE hInstance,
    UINT uID,
    LPTSTR lpBuffer,
    int nBufferMax
);

thanks for your help,
