You can find this out by parsing the string list yourself. The first 2 bytes of a locked string list resource hold the # of strings in the list. The remaining bytes hold the list of null terminated strings.
Parsing the string list is a good idea. Note, however, that the very first thing in the string list resource ('tSTL') is a null-terminated "prefix" string, followed by the string count. So you have to skip over the prefix string first, and then the next two bytes (which contain the count) might not be on a word boundary.
