SizeOfResource () problem using String Table

hi !!

I am facing some problem retrieving size of a string from string Table.
I am using FindResource() function to get handle for the resource.
I refered MSDN and get to know that String Table is stored as a block
of memory of 16. Thus FindResource() will always give me address of
that block. I am successfully retrieving handle to the block where the
desired string is present.

The problem is I know at which place/ index the string is present in
that block. But dont know how to retrieve it!! I want to get its size.

Can somebody plz help me on this!

Thx in advance

I am posting the code here

Code:
--------------------
  
  LPSTR GetErrorString(UINT uiStringId)
  {
  int iRetVal=0;
  DWORD dwResSize=0;
  char temp[10];
  HRSRC hRes;
  
  //get the ID of the block
  DWORD nID = (uiStringId >> 4) + 1;
  
  //get the offset of the item within the block
  DWORD nitemID = uiStringId % 0x10;
  
  //get handle to the beginning of the block of 16 strings, where
  each string begins with its size
  hRes = FindResource(gl_hModule,MAKEINTRESOURCE(nID), RT_STRING);
  //how to get the size of the string here, curretly giving the size of the block
  
  dwResSize=SizeofResource(gl_hModule,hRes);
  ..
  ..
  ..}
