read value from dll resource into registry entry

take cmhomeres.dll for example. it controls what all the stock titanium panels names are, among other things. what I am trying to do is make a new panel but I want its condensed name to not be hard-coded in the registry, but instead read from a text resource in cmhomeres.dll. In icons for the panels in the registry you can see them as resources from bronzeres.dll. How does one do this with text?

Code:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CHome\ctest1\Page1]
"SK2Text"="test"
"TEXT1"="test"
"PICTURES"="\\Windows\\Start_icon_calendar.png"
"ACTIONURL"="\\Windows\\Calendar.exe"
"TEXT2"="cmhomeres.dll;1025"
"SK2URL"=""

this does not work of course, has anyone done this successfully?
