The LoadString function loads the specified string resource.
hinst
Identifies an instance of the module whose executable file contains the string resource to be loaded.
idResource
Specifies the integer identifier of the string to be loaded.
lpszBuffer
Points to the buffer that will receive the null-terminated string.
cbBuffer
Specifies the buffer size, in bytes. The buffer should be large enough for the string and its terminating null character. The string is truncated if it is longer than the number of bytes specified.
The return value specifies the number of bytes copied into the buffer, if the function is successful. It is zero if the string resource does not exist.
