BTW satelite dlls work that way you do use same IDs.
I read in MSDN about that.

You will have to then load the resrouce from that specific DLL though. I
dont think you are doing that. You can use AfxSetResourceHandle for it.

This is aknowledged as "best industry standard" at this point.
Same IDs in different dlls, one dll/language, explicitely LoadLibraryEx
and use that handle to retrieve the resources.


I dont really know. We did not use this way. We used CDynLinkLibrary
and it worked fine for us. The reason I mentioned this was that you had
earlier mentioned this along with a codeproject link(dllswitchXX) and
it kind of made sense for some people. To me having a resource chain in
a large prooject makes a lot of sense. It does require initial
bookkeeping though. Use AfxSetResoureHandle requires the user to know
where to find the resource. On other hand, if you use CDynLinkLibrary,
no such assumption needs to be made.
