I dont believe there are more than 100 of captions in your program. You can load them in
InitInstanceitself – no harm.If there are more than few hundreds of captions to load, it would take the GUI to appear (irrespective of where you load, since GUI/total thread is one). In that case, you should load all important resources/captions while startup (in
InitInstance), and defer/delegate the loading of other captions to other thread/later-time.
