Dear Otto,

If you use Total Commander, then install this plugin to manage 7z files:

7z is a 7zip file. Its utility is at https://www.7-zip.org/download.html

Just sent you my version of ResEdit64 .. just un-zip the file and put the folder at the root of c:\ .. you will need to re-configure your File locations for FW and your C++ compiler .. leave the resource script template alone ( include directives ) ..

Hopefully my message will not bounce back ..

Thanks

Hello Rick,
thank you. I got the file.
Best regards

So I decided to look again at ResEdit ... downloaded and installed it without a problem.

Then I took my existing, working xxx.rc file and tried to open it.

It had some complaints, but now it says it cannot recognize. STYLE. WS_POPUP. This is a standard windows style used in resources.

Any thoughts on this ?

Tim,

You can configure ResEdit settings this way:

Code: Select all | Expand

#include <windows.h>
#include <commctrl.h>
#include <richedit.h>
#include "%RESOURCE_HEADER%"

#ifndef WC_TABCONTROL
   #define WC_TABCONTROL "SysTabControl32"
#endif

#ifndef PROGRESS_CLASS
   #define PROGRESS_CLASS "msctls_progress32"
#endif

#ifndef WS_POPUP
   #define WS_POPUP 0x80000000L
#endif

#define RT_MANIFEST 24

I'm trying to open an existing .rc file and it tells me WS_POPUP is an undeclared identifier.
