Re: How about a resource string cache?

Looks like another documentation error in the MSDN; I just read the code
and it works with
an LPCTSTR cast. In fact, it works with an LPCWSTR cast, an LPCSTR cast,
and an LPCTSTR
cast. I wrote a test program that demonstrates this works, and
furthermore works in all
possible combinations

BOOL CloadstringDlg::OnInitDialog()
{
...
#define TEST(x) {x; CString t; t.Format(_T(#x) _T(": %s"), s);
c_List.AddString(CString(s)); }
       TEST(CStringA s(MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDS_WHATEVER)));
       TEST(CStringW s(MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDS_WHATEVER)));
       TEST(CString s(MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDS_WHATEVER)));

       TEST(CStringA s((LPCSTR)IDS_WHATEVER));
       TEST(CStringA s((LPCTSTR)IDS_WHATEVER));
       TEST(CStringW s((LPCSTR)IDS_WHATEVER));
       TEST(CStringW s((LPCWSTR)IDS_WHATEVER));
       TEST(CStringW s((LPCTSTR)IDS_WHATEVER));
       TEST(CString s((LPTSTR)IDS_WHATEVER));

return TRUE; // return TRUE unless you set the focus to a control
}

All compile and load the string "Whatever" into the listbox.
