What is a resource DLL? Does that mean dynamically loading resources? So can we change the resources of an application dynamically using dlls as we call functions using dlls? If this is true, help me in dynamically loading a resource.
- Send replies to omkamal@hotmail.com - thank you in advance.

The VC++ help documentation has information in how to create a resource only DLL.

What it buys you is easier internationalization. When doing it this way, then only the resource DLL has to be rebuilt instead of the entire app. You can then have a separate resource DLL for each language.

Yeah, as Micheal has suggested, go through the help once. Once you have
the resource only dll ready then all u need to do is get the handle
of the Dll Using AfxGetResourceHandle() and then set the handle to
the new resource using AfxSetResourceHandle(libHandle).After this point,
all the resources will be from the specified dll.
