When creating an edit field on a dialog in the Dialogs view, it can be populated with a string table entry by selecting the ellipsis button (...) in the Text field in the property dialog at right. However, after a string table entry is selected, the edit field displays the string table identifier (Example: IDS_MYSTRINGTABLEID) rather than the actual text string.
