The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows versions 3.0 and 3.1
  • Microsoft Win32 Application Programming Interface (API) included with: 

        - Microsoft Windows NT versions 3.5 and 3.51
    - Microsoft Windows 95 version 4.0

In order to find the length of a string in the STRINGTABLE you need to do a FindResource() and then a SizeofResource() to find the total size in bytes of the current block of 16 strings. Remember that STRINGTABLEs are stored specially; to FindResource() you will ask for RT_STRING as the Type, and the (string number / 16) + 1 as the name.
