Of course, the canonical way depends on the documentation author of the moment... [^].

OK, I just read this post.

Well, I see that MFC is *actually* beautiful. One mistake is that most frequently done by newbies is putting a CFont object on the stack, setting the font of a control with this, and then wondering why it "didn't work". But they'll eventually get things to work and will appreciate the framework. Smile | :)

Is mu local or does it have class scope?

The Debugger did not guide me to there.

Assertions have nothing to do with the debugger. When an assertion fires, you'll see:

Assertion Failed: File %hs, Line %d

So did you look at line 900 of afxwin1.inl to see what condition is asserting?

{ ASSERT(this == NULL || m_hMenu == NULL || ::IsMenu(m_hMenu));

I think the menu was destroyed.

Does not return a CMenu*. You should be calling CWnd::GetMenu().

It does if called in the context of a CWnd-derived class.

My (mis-)reading of the documentation implied that you had to call this on a CWnd object reference.

After the call to SetMenu() you need to call mu.Detach() so the destructor does not destroy the handle.

Hello,
I am developing multilingual MFC application.

My application has very heavy GUI, and I want to create resource DLL for each language, which my application load at run time when needed.

So I want to make resource DLL for application per language which just contain "string table" nothing else, and remaining resource should use from application default resource.

Basic requirement:
1) Don't want to redundant Image, Dialog and Menus in each resource DLL.

Can anyone suggest way for same?

You just need to create a resource set comprising strings only. If there are any other auto-generated items they can be deleted.

Thanks Richard,

But I want to in a way so I no need to do any compilation and code change to support new language. Thats way i was preferring separate resource DLL.

What is your view/solution?

That's what I was suggesting; create a DLL composed of all the string table resources and a simple function to return the relevant string table according to the language selected by the caller.

I cannot find the MFC reference, only the one pertaining to ATL, which I have no experience of. I think you may need to look at how you access the resources, and whether to use pure Win32 to access them through the DLL.
