Why should you have the same resource IDs in the main program and a DLL?
These IDs shoudl all be distinct or you need to explicitly ask for
resources
from a specific DLL. We used multiple resource DLLs, all with distinct
resoruce IDs and put these in a resource chain using CDynLinkLibrary.
I do it the way adamus suggests (same resource IDs in different language
modules) and it works fine.
Schematically I have a
class USERMODULE
{
static HINSTANCE mu_hInstance;
static HINSTANCE mu_hModuleLanguage;
HINSTANCE mu_hOldInstance; // Previous resource instance handle set in
AFX
// member functions...
};
If a foreign language has been selected then
mu_hModuleLanguage
is the handle of the appropriate resource DLL. Otherwise it is NULL.
mu_hInstance is the handle of the standard (English) resource module.
The constructor of this class sets mu_hOldInstance from
AfxGetResourceHandle() and uses AfxSetResourceHandle() to the desired
module. The destructor sets things back with
AfxSetResourceHandle( mu_hOldInstance )
All dialogue operations are wrapped in member functions of this class and
all resources are loaded by preference from mu_hModuleLanguage (if it is
non-NULL) and from mu_hInstance on failure. There's also a static
muLoadString() member which can load strings from the appropriate string
table without constructing a USERMODULE or telling AFX about anything.
It all seems to be working a treat!
