Since it has been reported that Defect #569256 has "in part been resolved by exporting mdlViewManager_loadSpriteFromRsrc() to load sprites", I gave it a try:
int iconID = IDI_ICON1; HINSTANCE myDll = GetModuleHandleW(L"srs_viewMonitorConnect"); m_oSpriteP = mdlViewManager_loadSpriteFromRsrc(iconID, &myDll);
and was not successful. The GetModuleHandleW() call resulted in a non-NULL value for myDll, but the call to mdlViewManager_loadSpriteFromRsrc() returned a NULL to m_oSpriteP. Is there more than needs to be done?
