Re: Resource dll question...

You can get the "best language" by querying the locale (region) settings. I
use code that looks like this:

    LCID lcid = ::GetThreadLocale();
    lcid = LANGIDFROMLCID(lcid);
    CString csResourceDLL;
    LogEvent(csResourceDLL = GetResourceFilename(lcid, _T("MyApp%1.dll")));
    lcid = MAKELANGID(lcid&0xff, SUBLANG_DEFAULT);
    m_csLCID.Format(_T("%04x"), lcid);
    switch(lcid) {
        case 0x0409:
            LogEvent(m_gVersionType = VERSION_ENGLISH);
            break;
        case 0x0407:
            LogEvent(m_gVersionType = VERSION_GERMAN);
            break;
       case 0x040a:
            LogEvent(m_gVersionType = VERSION_SPANISH);
            break;
        case 0x040c:
            LogEvent(m_gVersionType = VERSION_FRENCH);
            break;
        case 0x0410:
            LogEvent(m_gVersionType = VERSION_ITALIAN);
            break;
        case 0x0411:
            LogEvent(m_gVersionType = VERSION_JAPANESE);
            break;
}

//
// Creates a resource file name (for a DLL) given the locale id and a format
string.
//
CString GetResourceFilename(UINT nLID, LPCTSTR cFormat)
{
    CString csHex, cs;
    nLID = MAKELANGID(nLID&0xff, SUBLANG_DEFAULT);
    csHex.Format(_T("%04x"), nLID);
    cs.FormatMessage(cFormat,csHex);
    return cs;
}

I only use the SUBLANG_DEFAULT so that makes it work for more locales.
