Dear Fraxzi,

This is my project properties screen, Is it OK ?



I have found that the xMate is not adding a particular BMP and a DIALOG (created with the ResEd) to the EXE. Another amazing thing is that the .RES generated by xMate (PellesC PORC.EXE) contains both the above said BMP and DIALOG. I wonder what is going wrong ?.

Any hint regarding the linking of .RES file to the EXE

Dear Anser,

I'll wait so we can work this out.

Regards,

Looks OK with me...

Here's mine.









Anything else are default.

The porc.exe will add .bmp to .res from compiling .rc as we know it. maybe your <file>.rc is not the same filename as you main <file>.prg ?

Dear Fraxzi,

I am not able to recreate the same problem with another test project using xMate. The test project which I created to show you is working fine.

Anyway in my original project the problem is not yet resolved

Maybe your <file>.rc is not the same filename as you main <file>.prg ?

I re-checked it. But some of the images from the .RC file is getting displayed. As I said earlier, the only problem is with a 32 bit BMP and a dialog created using ResEd. When I check the .EXE with PellesC, only the above said resources are missing in the .EXE

I am going to delete the project file and re-create and test. Shall update you on this.

Screen snapshot of the AlphaBMP file World.Bmp (C:\FWH\BitMaps\AlphaBmp\World.Bmp) displayed on a ButtonBMP. folder The left hand side button is from disk file and the right hand side button is from resource file.

Dear Fraxzi,

Problem solved. I deleted the xMate Project and re-created it.
xMate will create certain folders by default in our project folder. xMate author has adviced not to delete these folders and has asked to leave as it is.

The folders created by xMate in our project directory are :-
Backup
Bin
Debug
Include
Lib
Obj
Resource
Source

I don't know how it happened, I found a .RES file copied inside the Resource folder and it was that .RES file getting linked to my EXE . I understand that if .RES file exists in the RESOURCE folder then xMate will link that .RES file with the EXE and ignores the .RES file compiled and generated in the project folder. I deleted the .RES file from the folder RESOURCE and everything worked as expected.

Anyway it is a good lesson. I am writing it down here so that it may be useful for beginners like me .

Thanks for your effort.

Dear Anser,

I'm glad you did. Maybe xMate uses the first .res file found within the project's directory...

Anyway, that was a good experienced.
