• Microsoft OLE Control Development Kit (CDK), version 1.0

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.
