FIX: WWWQuote Sample Fails with Error Message

RESOLUTION

Change the custom type resource "HTML" to a different type so that the resource compiler does not modify it.

Open the resource file as text and modify it as follows:

Original lines:

   ...
   //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 
   // 
   // 
   // HTML
   // 

   IDS_HTML_WELCOME        HTML      DISCARDABLE     "HTML\\welcome.htm"
   IDS_HTML_LOOKUPMETHOD   HTML      DISCARDABLE     "HTML\\issueerr.htm"
   IDS_ISSUES_HEADER       HTML      DISCARDABLE     "HTML\\Selhead.htm"
   IDS_ISSUES_TRAILER      HTML      DISCARDABLE     "HTML\\Seltail.htm"
   IDS_GET_QUOTES_ERROR    HTML      DISCARDABLE     "HTML\\quoteerr.htm"
   IDS_PREV_BUTTON         HTML      DISCARDABLE     "HTML\\Prev.htm"
   IDS_NEXT_BUTTON         HTML      DISCARDABLE     "HTML\\Next.htm"
   IDS_QUOTE_HEADER        HTML      DISCARDABLE     "HTML\\quothead.htm"
   ...
				

After Modification to use type "MYHTML"

   ...
   //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 
   // 
   // 
   // MYHTML
   // 

   IDS_HTML_WELCOME        MYHTML      DISCARDABLE     "HTML\\welcome.htm"
   IDS_HTML_LOOKUPMETHOD   MYHTML      DISCARDABLE     "HTML\\issueerr.htm"
   IDS_ISSUES_HEADER       MYHTML      DISCARDABLE     "HTML\\Selhead.htm"
   IDS_ISSUES_TRAILER      MYHTML      DISCARDABLE     "HTML\\Seltail.htm"
   IDS_GET_QUOTES_ERROR    MYHTML      DISCARDABLE     "HTML\\quoteerr.htm"
   IDS_PREV_BUTTON         MYHTML      DISCARDABLE     "HTML\\Prev.htm"
   IDS_NEXT_BUTTON         MYHTML      DISCARDABLE     "HTML\\Next.htm"
   IDS_QUOTE_HEADER        MYHTML      DISCARDABLE     "HTML\\quothead.htm"
   ...
				

You also have to modify the following line in wwwquote.cpp so that you are looking for the correct resource type:

   static const TCHAR szHTMLType[] = _T("HTML");
				

to:

   static const TCHAR szHTMLType[] = _T("MYHTML");
