Viewing available message strings (from mc.exe) in a 3rd party DLL

Is there a way to view all the messages (ie messages created for FormatMessage by the mc.exe message compiler) available within a DLL? It appears they are added as a single resource as type 11. Unfortunately that resource is binary.

Solution

  • I use Resource Hacker for all things resource-related. These messages show up as a "Message Table" resource that contains all the human-readable strings and their IDs.
