Re: FormatMessage LoadString from string table

In re-reading your question, and still trying to figure out what you are asking...

If you want to concatenate a series of strings (separated by spaces, for example) the code
is

CString sep;
CString result;
for(...)
{
CString s;
s.LoadString(IDS_STRING_START + i);
result += sep;
result += s;
sep = _T(" ");
}

Pretty basic programming here.

Hi,

do you know if there`s a simple / fast solution to add several strings
from the string-table to one CString using FormatMessage?

CString test ("%1%, %2% some other comments %3% and %4%");
CString test2("");
for(int i=0; i<MAX_NBR_OF_STR; i++)
{
test2.LoadString(IDS_TEST_START + i);

test.FormatMessage(test2);
}
I know this solution will not work - but maybe it is possible with a
few hints.

I don`t want to use 40 CStrings test2[1-40] to load all strings from
the string-table and add them by using FormatMessage.

best regards
