In the resources of some microsoft DLLs I have seen format specifiers in dialog resources.
For example, "Windows is searching for %s. To locate the file yourself, click Browse."
What is the common technique to perform a "printf" and substitute format specifiers with their values before showing the dialog box?
If the format string is actually _in_ a dialog, i.e. the caption of a control in the dialog, you could do the following:
case WM_INITDIALOG:
...
TCHAR strBuffer[512], strFormat[256];
GetDlgItemText(hDlg, ID_CONTROL, strFormat,
sizeof strFormat*sizeof (TCHAR)
);
wsprintf(strBuffer, strFormat, strFileName);
SetDlgItemText(hDlg, ID_CONTROL, strBuffer);
The format might also be in a string table; in that case substitute LoadString() for GetDlgItemText().
Or it might be in a message resource; in that case substrate FormatMessgae() for GetDlgItemText() and wsprintf().\
