Which OS Ron?

FWIW, I tried it under Win7.

Ah, there's a catch.
Added content at MSDN says:
"The special behaviour when nBufferMax == 0 applies only to LoadStringW, and not to LoadStringA."
I was compiling with ANSII.

That's a pity as it would have made it simple.

Ron.

Dave,
I found out why it doesn't work and posted the reason after your last post.
Please forgive the way I spelled ANSI!

Ron.

Ah, I hadn't scrolled down far enough to see the community content,
and indeed it is correct. I guess that's why the MFC implementation
doesn't use it.

Ron: while I agree with you that a uniform behaviour for ANSI/MBCS and
Unicode builds would be better, you could explicitly call LoadStringW, and
use CW2A conversion helper class (or similar tools) to convert from Unicode
to ANSI.
