How can I get the Resource ID I want?

freeman868

Hello,everyone! I want to ask a question about my practice. I created some string entries in the string table such as IDS_STRING1,IDS_STRING2,IDS_STRING3... .Now, I want to load one of them for the CString object by a string I specified. for example, the string I specified was "IDS_STRING1" , how can I convert "IDS_STRING1" to the right Resource ID? Thank u so much!:confused:

i'm not sure at all to understand what you want. if i'm right, you want to get the actual string behing the string ID in the resource string table. for this, 2 solutions : CString::LoadString() or CString::Format()

See if this answers your question.... Answer 1: CString Str; Str.Format(IDS_STRING1); Answer 2: CString str; if (! str.LoadString( IDS_STRING1 )) { AfxMessageBox("Error Loading String: IDS_STRING1"); ... }

In additional with other members after reads Resource with CString::Load on the loop you can read all strings for example IDS_STRING1 has "one,two,three,four," now on a loop set for find , in this string and reads all strings :)

There's no automatic way to do that. You'll basically need a lookup table to know that "IDS_STRING1" should be mapped to 101 or whatever the numeric value is.
