I have an MFC application (MDI) that at startup loads a separate resource-dll containing dialogs, string table, menus, bitmaps etc. depending on the current language (which is set in a .ini-file).
My problem occurs when I want to change resource dll during run-time (i do this from a new dialog). All new dialogs that opens after I load the new dll get the right language but stuff like the menus etc. that are already loaded keeps the old language. What I'm looking for is like a global redraw-function that completely reloads the UI from current resources.
I have tried UpdateWindow(), RedrawWindow(), and Invalidate() on the main window but nothing works. I fear I have to write a custom-made update function where I gather all calls to resource items which is something I'd like to avoid as far as possible.
Any ideas?

In which function you are switching the resource?

I switch the resource in a dialog class function, e.g. CMyChangeLanuageDialog::OnOK
<br />
...<br />
m_hResourceDLL = LoadLibrary( (LPCSTR)strDllFileName );<br />
AfxSetResourceHandle( m_hResourceDLL );<br />
...<br />
Same is done at startup in something like CMyApp::initilize(), where CMyApp is derived from CWinApp. After which the application picks the right resources when creating the UI.
But when I just set a new file-handle during run-time with AfxSetResourceHandle() it does not seem to reload the UI, only save the new handle for future checks. Thats why I'm looking for some global redraw function.

The already-loaded resources need to be reloaded. Once they are loaded the first
time when the UI object is created, the system doesn't look at the resource again.

Yeah, seems like this is the only way. Is there any way to do this without restarting the whole application (this is what I wanted to avoid)?
Can't seem to find a member function of the controls that would make it reload itself. Tried to destoy (e.g. a menu) and load again but seems to give me other problems then, CMDIFrameWnd::Assertvalid() fails. I'm at a loss at this one.

You'd probably need to destroy windows and recreate them.
To prevent the application from terminating if the main window is
destroyed, set the app class' m_pMainWnd member to NULL.
When the new main window is created, you can set m_pMainWnd
as a pointer to the new main window.

Hello everyone,
I want to print out and log localized message according to current locale of machine. For example, if I am always use MESSAGE_ERROR macro in my program, and I want to replace it with "Error" when the locale is en_US and be replaced with French if the locale if Fr.
I am wondering whether Visual Studio 2005 provide some existing technology or some resource file which I could utilize? For example, I could define MESSAGE_ERROR macro to "error" if locale is English and define to other values if other locale is set. I do not want to change any source codes if necessary. I am developing unmanaged C++ DLL using Visual Studio 2005.
thanks in advance,
George

no proper clue.
because, i never faced such problems with sdi applications.
try using it in any other system and see.
if possible, you can send me your project folder zipped without debug folder,
provided, it is in vc++ 6.0.

yes sir you are right.
but iam sure that, the OP or me shall quote the solution in this forum, if it is really solved.
why i wanted him to send his application is , because, i never faced this problem with sdi.
so i wanted to see it practically and try to solve it.

How are you verifying this? Even if your app's window fills 98% of the desktop, it is still not maximized.

hi, all i have made a chat appliction like MSN Messenger that works fine on LAN.it has one Main server application on which all cliens connects,those client send message to each other as well by getting the contact list and listen on port for that contact.Now i want that application to work on internet as well.
my confusion is how to get the ip adress and more importantantly port number of differnt
clients as some clients are in Private LAN and they will be using router/gateway ipadress instead of own ip adress, and i cannt use their adress and port number.
thanks in advance
Regards.
