LoadString
The LoadString
function loads a string resource from the executable file associated with a
specified module, copies the string into a buffer, and appends a terminating
null character.
int LoadString(
|
HINSTANCE hInstance, |
// handle of module
containing string resource |
|
UINT uID, |
// resource
identifier |
|
LPTSTR lpBuffer, |
// address of
buffer for resource |
|
int nBufferMax |
// size of buffer |
|
); |
|
Parameters
hInstance
Identifies an
instance of the module whose executable file contains the string resource.
uID
Specifies the
integer identifier of the string to be loaded.
lpBuffer
Points to the
buffer to receive the string.
nBufferMax
Specifies the
size of the buffer in bytes (ANSI version) or characters (Unicode version). The
string is truncated and null terminated if it is longer than the number of
characters specified.
Return Values
If the
function succeeds, the return value is the number of bytes (ANSI version) or
characters (Unicode version) copied into the buffer, not including the
null-terminating character, or zero if the string resource does not exist. To
get extended error information, call GetLastError.
