Problem With Resource

[manoj]

Hi
I have a unicode program for win2k and win98 in vc7(dotnet). It contains
Dlls.Each Dll has string table resource,menu resource,dialog resource etc.
It successfully run on win2k. When i run it in win98, only string resource
of any dll is loaded, menu and dialog are not loaded.
I use LoadMenuW(handl e of dll module,menuname )
No problem for win2k
Please reply
Thanks in advance

Presumably you're using Unicows on Win9x?

What does GetLastError (or the ERR pseudo register in the debugger)
tell you about why LoadMenu failed?

GetLastError and FormatMessage says "operation completed successfully".
LoadMenuW returns 0 and DoModal returns -1.

LoadMenuW returns 0 and DoModal returns -1.

And are you using the Unicows library under Win9x?

Can you reproduce this issue with a small sample project - a console
application that calls LoadMenu(W)?

Yes, I'm using unicows library under win98.
Under win98, program load toolbar and resource string of dll when i load
the specified dll. Only menu and dialog box are creating the problem. There
is no problem for win2k at all.
sample code is
HINSTANCE langDLL = NULL;

langDLL = LoadLibraryExW( _T("dllname.dll "),NULL,LOAD_LI BRARY_AS_DATAFI LE);

if(langDLL)

AfxSetResourceH andle(langDLL);

Now for menu

HMENU menu;

menu=LoadMenuW( langDLL,(LPCTST R)IDR_MENU1);

::SetMenu(m_hWn d,menu);

For dialog

dlg.DoModal();

where dlg is object of dialog(IDD_DIAL OG1) class.

sample code is HMENU menu;
menu=LoadMenuW (langDLL,(LPCTS TR)IDR_MENU1); dlg.DoModal( );
where dlg is object of dialog(IDD_DIAL OG1) class.

I don't know if this is the issue, but what are the numeric values of
IDR_MENU1 and IDD_DIALOG1 ?

Win9x has problems with resource ID values > 32K.

If this isn't the issue I'm not aware of any problems in this area. I
suggest that you try re-posting your question with as much detail as
possible in the microsoft.publi c.platformsdk.m slayerforunicod e
newsgroup.

Thanks, If Win98 has problems with resource ID values > 32K then how can i
solve it. For win98, LoadMenuW fail when loading menu of any dll. This not
case with menu of main exe. In this case LoadMenuW success.While all Dlls
and main exe have same menu id IDR_MENU1. I create IDR_MENU1 and put its
copy in all dll.and All dlls have different languages. No problem with
string and toolbar resources of any dll.

Change the values to be less than 32K.

You've not said what the values actually are though - so what are they
in your DLL?

IDR_MENU1 is a menu resource which i added to project. and IDR_DIALOG1 is a
dialog box resource which i add.Then i copy these resources to Dlls.
I think this is the answer of your question. If not then please clear what
you want to ask?

Those are the symbolic definitions of the values, what are the
numerical values for these definitions (usually defined in the
resource.h file)?
