MFC Dialog in Static Library
-
Hi, I have a MFC dialog that I want to be in a static library. When it is in the static library and I call DoModal on it, the FindResource comes back with 0.
if (m_lpszTemplateName != NULL) { hInst = AfxFindResourceHandle(m_lpszTemplateName, RT_DIALOG); // Works HRSRC hResource = ::FindResource(hInst, m_lpszTemplateName, RT_DIALOG); // Fails hDialogTemplate = LoadResource(hInst, hResource); // Obviously fails... }Is it possible to have a dialog defined in static library with MFC support? I should point out that made sure that all the resource identifiers are out of the range of all other identifiers in the program (ie, 5000+) Sincerly, Clint Singer -

Yes. But since you can't link resource templates into static libraries, you'll need to remember to do so in the app that uses them. For instance:
- Clint.exe links with ClintLib.lib, and has resources specified in Clint.rc
- ClintLib.lib contains class for dialog, template for dialog is defined in ClintLib.rc
- Clint.rc must
#includeClintLib.rc in order for those resources to be available at runtime.

Thank you. It worked! Cheers, Clint
