DOC: Errors In "Implementing Localization Support"

ID: Q122290

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft OLE Control Development Kit (CDK), version 1.0

SUMMARY

The Programmer's Guide from the Microsoft OLE Control Development Kit, version 1.0, contains some errors in the "Implementing Localization Support" section. The section contains information about implementing support for international versions of OLE controls.

MORE INFORMATION

Please make the following corrections to the "Implementing Localization Support" section:

The second paragraph mentions three strategies for loading resources but fails to point out that the LOCALIZE sample uses the first strategy (loading resources on demand). In addition, it fails to mention that the second strategy is used for the rest of the topic.

The part that explains how to create localized type libraries mentions these three scenarios:

      Developing 16-bit controls under Windows 3.1 or later
      Developing 16-bit controls under Windows NT
      Developing 32-bit controls

Please change this to the following more precise description:

      Developing 16-bit controls under Windows 3.1 or 3.11
      Developing 16-bit controls under Windows NT or Windows 95
      Developing 32-bit controls

The following phrase in the first section titled "To add a new type library command to the tools menu", step 5, is incorrect:
```
      ... and the CDK was installed in C:\MSVC
```
It should read:
```
      ... and the CDK was installed in C:\MSVC\CDK16
```
The following phrase in the second section titled "To add a new type library command to the tools menu", step 5, is incorrect:
```
      ... and the CDK was installed in C:\CDK16
```
It should read:
```
      ... and the CDK was installed in C:\MSVC\CDK16
```

The following sentence should be deleted:

      Because projects built under NT or Chicago store 16-bit type
      libraries in the TLB16 subdirectory you must move any .ODL.

The code sample for CSampleCtrl::GetLocalizedResourceHandle makes the following declaration:
```
      LANGID lang = LANGFROMLCID(lcid);
```
The lang variable is never used, so it can be safely deleted.
