You may notice that many VB6 developer sample projects have "Res409" files. These files are used to localize the functionality. As an example, the table below shows these file for the Edit Task developer sample.
File Name |
Description |
---|---|
Res409.vbp (e.g., MMEditTaskRes409.vbp) |
The Visual Basic project used to compile the localization strings. |
Class1.cls |
This file is required to compile the Res409.dll. Without it, the project won't compile. |
Res409.res (e.g., MMEditTaskRes409.res) |
These resource files contain string tables or bitmap tables used for localization. |
ResCONST.BAS (e.g., MMEditTaskResCONST.BAS) |
If this module exists, it maps the string constant to the string number in the corresponding resource file. If it does not exist, the string constants may be found in another .BAS file (e.g., modMain.bas). |
Res409.dll (e.g., MMEditTaskRes409.dll) |
The compiled .dll against which the binary compatibility of the project is set. |
