    Reading values from a string table..

    How can I retrive values from a string table in a resource associated with my project? For example, I have a value IDS_TITLEBAR in my string table, how can I get the string value?
    I tried TEXT(MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDS_TITLEBAR)) but that's crashing my program.

    This is where I'm using it:

    Code:
    hwnd = CreateWindow(	
    
    			szAppName,
    			MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDS_TITLEBAR),
    			WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,
    			CW_USEDEFAULT,
    			CW_USEDEFAULT,
    			CW_USEDEFAULT,
    			CW_USEDEFAULT,
    			NULL,
    			NULL,
    			hInstance,
    			NULL
    					);
