Visual Studio Community (free) resources editor seems to work great :-)

Time to start using it...

Antonio

Quick questions

1) Can I create a .rc with visual studio ?
2) Can I double click on a .rc and open the visual studio resource editor ?

Thanks ..

Rick

Rick,

Based on what I have discovered so far:

  1. You can create a new Windows desktop app which automatically includes a RC file you can edit

  2. You can open any RC and edit it

Simplest way to go:

  1. You create an empty RC file using notepad

  2. You edit it from Visual Studio Community (file - open - select the RC file)

Elvira,

You can add:

define WS_CHILD 0x40000000L

or simply:

include <windows.h>

Is windows.H in the download section of FWH ?
