A string table resource is a collection of strings that are stored within a resource file. Each string within a string table is identified by a unique index or resource ID. Strings are extracted from a resource file at run time using the LoadResString function, which takes the index as an argument.
Resource files created using the Resource Editor can contain multiple string table resources; resource files compiled using a traditional resource compiler can contain only a single string table. When creating resource files for localization, care should be taken in choosing the appropriate model for your application.
