I want to put up a fairly simple form from a shared library. The form is
simple enough to be drawn dynamically if need be, but I'm lazy and want to
use resources if it is at all possible. Though I was pretty certain I would
not be able to do it, I tried some experiments to see how far I could get.
Here is what I tried:
I created the resource and put it into my shared library project. It builds
and links in just fine. Then in the library I did a FrmGotoForm giving it
the id of my form in the shared library resource. Well, a form came up, but
it wasn't the right one (I had mistakenly given the form in the library the
same id as a form in the application, so that form was loaded but associated
with the wrong form handler and init code). I quickly realized my error and
gave the form a unique ID, and tried the FrmGotoForm again. This time it
completely fails because it does not find the resource.
I am guessing that the library's resources do not get linked into the
application resource chain, so it doesn't find it. My question is: Is there
a way to get the library's resources linked into the application's resource
chain. Will it work if I can get that resource loaded?
Thanks in advance,
Kevin
