Error 1813 is, "The specified resource type cannot be found in the image
file. "

It sounds like the wrong resource handle is being used. This is controlled
somewhat by MFC at startup, which looks for a DLL named with the current
locale ID, and if not found, is defaulted to the app .exe itself. If you
want to control it yourself, call AfxSetResourceHandle() at a convenient
place, normally CWinApp::InitInstance() (actually, this method in your
derived class).

Hello David,

Thanks for prompt reply. Actually My exe also has resources and my DLL
also has resources so when i will do AfxSetResourceHandle from Exe to
DLL then my exe resource will not be used. I want to escape from that
situation.

Do you have any other alternative approach?


Is your DLL a resource-only DLL? If so, you have to use AfxSetResourceHandle. If you also want to use the resources in your exe, you have to add the DLL to the MFC resource chain. To solve this, I added a function to the dll that I explicitly call from my exe so MFC loads it and adds it to the chain.
