Hi,

I'm thinking to move from Workshop to Pelles C to edit my recource-files, because the running on 64bit problem.
If I open a .RC-file in Pelles C, I just see the text-file.
I have to open the .RES file to be able tho modify/add recource.
In workshop I can open the .RC and add/modify resources. Do I do something wring, or is this correct?

I ( reluctantly ) use Resedit because I so much like Borland Resource Workshop. I am not much of a 'pallet' person when it comes to choosing my options... but I have learned to deal with the interface.

Resedit does a lot more than BRW especially when it comes to importing alpha bitmaps ( 24bit only ).

There is a 32 and 64 bit option and you will have to deal with a few header .ch files in your .rc's.

With that said .. Resedit has been a good solution for me especially since I do not want to download the whole C compiler just to get the resource editor.

Rick,

how do you clone a dialog using ResEdit?

The answer is a bit 'brutal' .. I copy a similar .rc to the new name .. use a text editor to change the dialog name. If the .rc is from BRW .. I add the following headers to the beginning of the file.

include <windows.h>

include <commctrl.h>

include <richedit.h>

include "resource.h"

The solution is kinda 'ugly' ..

exactamente como lo hago yo, por que resedit falla en algunas cosas como el copiado ya sea de dialogos o controles entre dialogos.
lo mas adecuado ha sido copiarlo directamente desde el rc con un edito de texto. por lo demas un gran producto, ademas en 32 y 64 bits.

I reported more than once this and other limitations to the author. Try to make a report yourself so the author might react.

Did you try open the RC file with Pelles and save as RES?

En el Pelles c puedes usar tanto .res como .rc, copiar o duplicar una dlg o cualquier otro recurso es tan simple como copiar y pegar comunmente y tambien trabaja en 32 y 64 bits, para mi lo mas sencillo, rapido y poderoso de los gratuitos.saludos...

I use pelles-c for my resources and i have no problem with it

I never use res file but rc as we used in brw, and it is working OK.

Why can't you open the rc with pelles-c ide ?

check you're using the ide "C:\Program Files (x86)\PellesC\Bin\poide.exe"

The Pelles C have support to copy/paste dialogs, images and others....

Marc,

Pelles C only shows a textfile if there is an an error in the .rc file. Maybe you have an unresolved include or define.

Hi,

I have found the problem. Pelles C have some problems with names of bitmaps like 'DELETE', 'FONT'.
After renaming them, everything works fine
