Before you can access a message, you also must build an .mpr file for your application and bind the strings in the .mpr file to your development image. To build an .mpr file, follow the steps in Translating text in messages, windows, and pool dictionaries to implement the class methods abtExternalizeStringBuildingInfo, loaded, removing, and failedRemove. Implement the methods in the class that has the same name as your application. Also follow the steps in Translating text in messages, windows, and pool dictionaries to register the .mpr file to the system and, ultimately, build the .mpr file.

After you build an .mpr file for your application, select NLS > Rebind Image Strings from the Tools menu of the System Transcript window.
