Reading Strings from Resource file.

[Sabiyur]

Hi All,
The application I am doing requires hundreds of strings to be
stored & retrieve those randomly.
I think I can use microsoft resource ".rc" file to store the strings.
I am not sure, how to write strings in ".rc" file and retrieve it
programmatically?

Do you guys have any idea on this?
Is there any good article on this?

Please help.

Thanks
Sabiyur

Basically. In VS goto the resource view
expand the treectrl
Goto string table (or right click to add one).
Double click it

On another pane you can now add string resources and there symbolic code
(which you can use to refer to it in the rest of your code).

Why not just use a simple text file?

..rc files are actually text files.

Yes, but not *simple* text files.

Thanks a lot. The ".rc" file string table works for my application.
