First make sure the resources are in the DLL.  The file myapp.rc
should be in the list of files, and there should be a tab for
"Resource View" in MSVC next to the file view.

I don't think DLL resource are searched by default (???).  To
use DLL resources instead of Main resources, you call
FindResource() followed by AfxSetResourceHandle() in MFC.
