Question:
I am trying to build a polymorphic dll which provides custom controls and have compiled it with a rss file. But at runtime it panics with CONE 14. What do I need to do?

Answer:
You need to call CEikonEnv::AddResourceFileL(...) on your resource file. This is done for you automatically by AppArc when you create a .app file, but not in the case of other dlls.

_LIT(KResourceFileName,\\System\\Libs\\ResourceFileName.rsc); CEikonEnv* eikEnv=CEikonEnv::Static(); //cache the Eikon pointer, as Static() is slow BaflUtils::NearestLanguageFile(eikEnv->FsSession(),KResourceFileName); //for localization eikEnv->AddResourceFileL(KResourceFileName);
