hi you can use the CString constructor to do this CString strInfo(IDS_INFO); or the Format method of CString if the reseource string needs additional paramaters like this: // if resource string is 'Hello %s' CString strHelloWorld; strHelloWorld.Format(IDS_HELLO, "world"); Regards codito ergo sum

You can also use AfxFormatString1 & AfxFormatString2 if your resource HELLO_ID is: "Hello %1" you can do: CString result; AfxFormatString1(result HELLO_ID, "World"); it gives u Hello World Eric Premature optimization is the root of all evil

CString strFoo;
VERIFY (strFoo.LoadString (IDS_Foo));

Hmm... seems like it won't work: --------------------------- #include #include "stdafx.h" int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow) { CString errors; errors.LoadString(IDS_ERROR1); MessageBox(NULL, errors, "Hello", MB_OK); return 0; } --------------------------- Errors: --------------------------- C:\VCProjs\KixWTF\KixWTF.cpp(14) : error C2065: 'CString' : undeclared identifier C:\VCProjs\KixWTF\KixWTF.cpp(14) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'errors' C:\VCProjs\KixWTF\KixWTF.cpp(14) : error C2065: 'errors' : undeclared identifier C:\VCProjs\KixWTF\KixWTF.cpp(16) : error C2228: left of '.LoadStringA' must have class/struct/union type C:\VCProjs\KixWTF\KixWTF.cpp(16) : error C2065: 'IDS_ERROR1' : undeclared identifier --------------------------- Anyone know? :( Thanks! ;-) PS: <code> tag didn't work. :-( Sulfurik K.

I assumed you were building an MFC app. Here's[^] a link to the Win32 version of the API. /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Music | Articles | Freeware | Trips ravib(at)ravib(dot)com

Hmm... yeah, I kinda wanted to use MFC... Do you know how to make a MFC app, but without a main window? Thanks! ;-) Sulfurik K. Nosferathus (Darth_Sulfur) www.SulfurMidis.com www.SulfurSoft.tk http://www.BeepXtreme.tk [ftp://][http://][hotline://]tsfc.ath.cx

Create a console application and select MFC support. /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Music | Articles | Freeware | Trips ravib(at)ravib(dot)com

Yay! Seems good, but I have a DOS box in the background... How do I take that out? Thanks! ;-) Sulfurik K. Nosferathus (Darth_Sulfur) www.SulfurMidis.com www.SulfurSoft.tk http://www.BeepXtreme.tk [ftp://][http://][hotline://]tsfc.ath.cx

Create an MFC dialog based application and don't create the dialog in your app's InitInstance() method.  Instead, just execute whatever (non-GUI) code you wish to call. Note, your app will exit when it returns from InitInstance(). Hope this helps! /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Music | Articles | Freeware | Trips ravib(at)ravib(dot)com
