I created a dialog box that has a static text field and I want that field to
contain a string that is stored in the string table. I would also like to
use the VERSIONINFO BLOCK but I'll try to figure that out later. The program
will compile (so everything is defined properly in the resource.h file) but
the static box is empty when run. Here is what I have so far...

IDE/Compiler: Borland C++ 5.02

IDD_TEST_DIALOG DIALOG 0, 0, 200, 200
STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | DS_3DLOOK | DS_CONTEXTHELP | WS_POPUP | WS_VISIBLE |
WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU
CAPTION "Testing Program Info and String table display"
FONT 8,"Times New Roman"
{
 CONTROL "Here is the data", IDC_GROUPBOX_01, "button", BS_GROUPBOX |
BS_CENTER | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_TABSTOP, 5, 5, 195, 195

 CONTROL STRING_TABLE_101, STRING_TABLE_101, "static", SS_LEFT | WS_CHILD |
WS_VISIBLE, 10, 10, 180,180
}


VERSIONINFO_1 VERSIONINFO
FILEVERSION 1, 0, 0, 0
PRODUCTVERSION 1, 0, 0, 0
FILEOS VOS_NT_WINDOWS32
FILETYPE VFT_APP
{
 BLOCK "StringFileInfo"
 {
  BLOCK "040904E4"
  {
   VALUE "CompanyName", "Me, Myself and I.\000\000"
   VALUE "FileDescription", "Test Program.\000"
   VALUE "FileVersion", "1.00\000\000"
   VALUE "InternalName", "DialogTest001\000"
   VALUE "LegalCopyright", "Copyright © None 2004\000\000"
   VALUE "OriginalFilename", "DialogTest001.exe\000"
  }

 }

 BLOCK "VarFileInfo"
 {
  VALUE "Translation", 0x409, 1252
 }

}

STRINGTABLE
{
 STRINGTABLE_101,"Hello World"
}

Any input to my oversight/ignorance?
