LoadResData works in IDE but errors in compiled ActiveX DLL

[TBDev111]

Describe the bug
LoadResData works in IDE but errors in compiled ActiveX DLL

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Create STRING Resource DefSilo.txt
Run:
strText = LoadResData("DefSilo.txt", "STRING")

This works fine in tB IDE.
Compile DLL and it generates Error:
-2147467259 Unspecified error.

Expected behavior
Work same as it does in the IDE.

Screenshots
NA

Desktop (please complete the following information):
OS: Windows 11
tB: 895

Additional context
This was tricky to debug as it is in a DLL.
Created a trace stack to find the error.
There are similar issues reported elsewhere with tB compiled EXE and DLL resources.
This is mission critical, would appreciate a response.

Is this an actual string table? Looks like you're just treating it as binary data. If that's the case for now it seems to work if you just use a different resource type that doesn't conflict with one that has special handling... I tested it just as a "DATA" folder under Resources and that worked.

I am storing a large comma delimited string of numbers. It is in the STRING resources section. It works/loads fine in IDE, errors in compiled DLL.

[TBDev111]

I have managed to store the string in a large (650k) constant instead, so no longer mission-critical.

Thank you.

I encountered the following error:

-2147467259 Unspecified error.

From version 873 tb Beta to the present
When the program runs, a LoadResData call has resulted in the above error.

I am currently using version 872 tb Beta to build the application.

@SanbiVN is that in a standard EXE tB project? If so, I can't reproduce it.

[WaynePhillipsEA]

Back to the OP, this problem only occurs if the resource folder is called "STRING". We use that folder name for special JSON string tables, see Add menu > "Add Resource: String Table" for an example.

[WaynePhillipsEA]

Fixed in BETA 940. If the STRING resource folder does not contain .json files, the folder will now be treated as a regular named folder rather than a resource string table at build time.

@WaynePhillipsEA
I named the folder JS
I downloaded the tb 940 Beta version, but I still encountered this error even after building it as a standard exe file.

I've attached another project.

Thank you very much for your help.

@SanbiVN Where is the call to LoadResData? I cannot see it in your provided twinproj

[SanbiVN]

@WaynePhillipsEA
What I mean is that the project is still experiencing the same error.

[WaynePhillipsEA]

If it's not calling LoadResData, then it needs to be opened as a separate issue, as it is unrelated to this.

Also there are no text resource files in the file you provided, so I have no idea what I'm supposed to be looking at.

[SanbiVN]

@WaynePhillipsEA
I don't know where the error is coming from; I only received the error message shown in this thread.

I've attached the built exe file.

Please open a new issue. This issue is for a bug involving LoadResData.

@WaynePhillipsEA

I'm very sorry, I changed the COM Initialization setting from multi-threaded to single-threaded, and the error disappeared.

Thank you very much for your support.
