Are you setting the new resource handle. You may have to close the dialog
and reopen it also.

I'm writing a multilanguage mfc dialog based application. When I switch
language I load resources from a different dll then I need to update
the dialog in order to show the new loaded resources. I tryed some
different way but I can't find the right one:
1)
void CResAppApp::RedrawDialog()
{
CRect rect;
GetClientRect( m_pMainWnd->GetSafeHwnd(), &rect); //m_pMainWnd should
be the dialog
InvalidateRect( m_pMainWnd->GetSafeHwnd(), &rect, TRUE);
UpdateWindow( m_pMainWnd->GetSafeHwnd());
}

2)
void CResAppApp::RedrawDialog()
{
if( m_pMainWnd != NULL)
(( CResAppDlg *) m_pMainWnd)->Redraw();
}

void CResAppDlg::Redraw(void)
{
GetDlgItem( IDC_STATIC)->Invalidate(); //Static
GetDlgItem( IDC_STATIC)->UpdateWindow();
GetDlgItem( IDC_LANGUAGE)->Invalidate(); //Button for
switch language
GetDlgItem( IDC_LANGUAGE)->UpdateWindow();
OnPaint();
}

If i try to move the button using MoveWindow() it disappear.
Does someone have any idea?
Thanks
Paolo
