Error in loading accelerator table

[Pryabu]

Hi, LoadAccelerators function is returning NULL value. im using the following code: HACCEL m_hAccelTable1; m_hAccelTable1 = LoadAccelerators(::AfxGetInstanceHandle(), MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_ACCELERATOR2)); GetLastError function is returning 1814 error value which states that "The specified resource name cannot be found in the image file". The accelerator table is present in the resource file. Anyone please tell me where i did the mistake? Thanks,

Check if IDR_ACCELERATOR2 is the right value to pass. You could even check if that is the right value by opening the .RC file in text mode.

It is there in the resource file: ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // // Accelerator // IDR_ACCELERATOR2 ACCELERATORS DISCARDABLE BEGIN "V", IDC_BMP_VIEW, VIRTKEY, NOINVERT END

Is it posible to create accelerator keys in a dll?

Is the accelerator table resource part of the EXE project or any other DLL that the EXE loads?

it is in a dll,but i have added the accelerator table in dll only. Another exe loads it.

Yeah, accelerator tables can be stored in executables (PE files) as resources (if that's what you're asking). In fact it where they're normally stored. They're loaded with the LoadAccelerators[^] function.

Check the HINSTANCE handle is referring to the correct DLL.

In that case the error is in using the AfxGetInstanceHandle function. Instead use GetModuleHandle with the name of the DLL as parameter.
