You don't have to do a SET RESOURCES TO, but you do everything else the same, e.g. DEFINE DIALOG oDlg NAME ..." So, the only change to the source is to leave out the SET RESOURCES TO. All the resources are actually inside the EXE instead of inside the DLL.

OK, so I think it is a DLL problem. Using the RC file will probably fix it.

I have one resource file wizard.rc which has many includes. I assume the one file will be linked in but not sure where to place rc in rmk file?

Harvey,

Below is a copy of an old message that appears to have been addressed to you. It shows how to use the RC file.

Hello Harvey,

you can use Stefan's solution or use
a standard-sample and change the contents.

here is the basic-structure of the script-file :

Code:

1. create a batchfile : GO.bat

IF not exist obj md obj
c:\bcc55\bin\make -f PROGFILE.rmk

2. create a file PROGFILE.rmk

Borland make sample, (c) FiveTech Software 2005

your BORLAND, HARBOUR and FWH directorys

HBDIR=c:\xharbour
BCDIR=c:\bcc55
FWDIR=c:\fwh

.path.OBJ = .\obj
.path.PRG = .\
.path.CH = $(FWDIR)\include;$(HBDIR)\include
.path.C = .\
.path.rc = .\

the list of the PRG-files ( PRG has to be uppercase )

// ------------------------------------------------------------

PRG = \
Prog1.PRG \
Prog2.PRG \
Prog3.PRG \
Prog4.PRG \
Prog5.PRG

// the same with c-files if needed
// -----------------------------------

C = \

two.C

PROJECT : MYPROG.exe

Yes I've been using it. I indicated my rc file with all the includes and it doesn't seem to work. Commented out my set resources to in prg. And it doesn't seem to be linking into exe. As a matter of fact the exe is the same size. ?????? and error message can't create "mydialog" ???

Harvey,

Have you placed the WindowsXP.Manifest file inside your DLL ?

Please email me that DLL to check that the manifest file is inside it, thanks

Antonio James

Yes James including the rc in the exe is the problem. Rc is included now and it is working perfect.

The reason it didn't work last night was I had a rmk script error discovered at 4 am.

My problem now is an access violation. Need to try to over come this. Not including about 20 rc files that are needed. Is there a way to link in 2 rc files with includes?

THank you both for the help. It is much appreciated.

Harvey,

If you have 2 or more rc files, example rc1.rc and rc2.rc.

Create a rc file; example myrc.rc

In this file add:

include rc1.rc

include rc2.rc

and you are done.

Seem to have hit a wall. I have a main.rc file with many includes. Maybe 600.
About 14 won't compile. I get and access violation.
So I added a main2.rc with the 14 includes included in main.rc. Same access violation.

Any thoughts?

Harvey,

I started a new topic with this new subject.

Please continue this discussion there.

James

Yes 600. Some may be due to my ineffieient programing over the years. The program is very complex. After I finish conversion to 32bits. I'll let you have a copy NC.

all rc files. Just says "access violation" when compiling. If I comment out the items at the bottom of this list it compiles.

Harvey,

You were too quick for me. I changed my previous message to start a new topic. Please see my reponse here:

Harvey,

an access violation can happen if you have an icon file with several included icons inside and with a color depth which is not supported by the resource compiler of borland.
Delete the unsupported icons out of the icon file and it will work

If I remember right, 8bit and 24bit colors are supported. So all icons files from vista can´t be used in their original form.
