Resource string IDs are replaced with numeric IDs in Visual C++ .NET (908271)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Visual C++ .NET (2003)
  • Microsoft Visual C++ .NET (2002)

SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Visual C++ .NET, when you change a resource in the Resource View, the string IDs are replaced with numeric IDs. When you view the resource file in a text editor, you notice the numeric IDs instead of the string IDs.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the numeric value of the string ID for a resource is larger than 32767.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, use resource IDs that have a value that is less than 32768.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
