Fred,

In C/C++, you should create both a resource file (with the strings'
definitions) and a resource header file (with the string constants'
definitions).  For example:

In "MyResourceStrings.rh":

#define IDS_Welcome 30001


In "MyResourceStrings.rc":

#include "MyResourceStrings.rh"
STRINGTABLE
BEGIN
    IDS_Welcome "Welcome"
END


Then, in a C/C++ file, "MySourceFile.cpp":

#include "MyResourceStrings.rh"
ShowMessage( LoadStr(IDS_Welcome) );

Hope this helps,
