- I have a resource file in which resides a TEXT resource, about which I am
- able to find absolutely no information, and I have a couple of questions
- of burning importance, for which I should very much appreciate any sort
- of answer:
-
- (1) Is there a limit on the size of the text string that this resource type
- contains?
-
- (2) Once I have a handle to the resource, how do I actually get at the text
- itself? There are functions for getting at, for example, the window
- being referenced by a window handle, but I've no idea about text. It's not
- a pascal string, so it's not as though there's any information about how
- big it is, etc (and even in that case, I'm left somewhat helpless).
-
- Any help will be gratefully received.
- Charlene
