[in] Identifier of the string table resource.

pbstrOut: String

[out, retval] Pointer to the requested string.

Remarks

COM Signature

From vsshell.idl:

HRESULT IVsShell::LoadPackageString(  
   [in] REFGUID guidPackage,  
   [in] ULONG resid,  
   [out, retval] BSTR *pbstrOut  
);

This method is a helper utility — a shortcut for calling the LoadUILibrary LoadResourceString. The Win API caller is responsible for calling SysFreeString to free the allocated pbstrOut string. This method uses the LoadUILibrary method to load the localized string as a string resource. You can also manually load the string resource.
