Rick,

This is the only error I get when I compile my .rc files

Code: Select all | Expand

WORKORD.RC
WORKRPT.RC

Error combaseapi.h 283 9: Symbol PURE is already defined. Redefinition is not the same
done!
 

In order to eliminate this error I just rem'd out line 283

Code: Select all | Expand

#if !defined(BEGIN_INTERFACE)

#if defined(_MPPC_)
    #define BEGIN_INTERFACE       void    *b;
    #define END_INTERFACE
#else
    #define BEGIN_INTERFACE
    #define END_INTERFACE
#endif
#endif


// #define PURE                // <------ line 283
#define THIS_                   INTERFACE FAR* This,
#define THIS                    INTERFACE FAR* This
#ifdef CONST_VTABLE
#undef CONST_VTBL
#define CONST_VTBL const
 

Thanks

Can I have the RC file to test here?

The e-mail is on its way to you .. I included both header files and have marked the locations I rem'd out.

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

Sorry Rick, I need the .RC file not the .H files (that I already have in my BCC72, of course).

I have sent you my contribution sample AdoRick.prg and AdoRick.rc and have added the Resedit include files to the .rc .. see below.

I simply commented out these lines from the .RC:

Code: Select all | Expand

//#include <windows.h>
//#include <commctrl.h>
//#include <richedit.h>
//#include "resource.h"

And now your sample compiles and runs fine here.

I realize that you can take out the include files and I wish I had a 32\64 bit resource editor like Resource Workshop .. but unfortunately, for Resedit to work properly, Resedit needs to see those include files in the .rc.

I have hundreds of .rc's configured to open under Resedit .. I wish I have a better resource editor choice.

Rick Lipkin

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

Ok, understood.

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

To fix in line 283 of Combaseapi.h rem out the entire line
// #define PURE

Severe warning! With this change BCC no longer compiles C modules! So, never ever modify the include files of your C compiler!

I have been searching for another Resource Editor other than Resedit that has no Include dependencies .. On a side note .. the ResEdit.net website has been hacked and has been blacklisted. I downloaded a new verson of Resedit last week and I ended up getting a terrible virus that wrecked my laptop. Needless to say I had to backup and re-format my laptop.

I have downloaded Resource builder which does not seem to have any Include dependencies .. however I did not like the layout of the interface so I removed it.

I could download Pelles C, but I just hate to install another full IDE and C++ compiler just to get the resource editor. If you know of another Resource Editor you can recommend, I would be grateful!

Thanks

I wrote my own resource editor but it's in Italian language and it's tailored on my needs:

Thank you VERY much! I will check it out.

Enrico,

great work, congratulations

An english version would be very useful

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

Thank you. I'll think about it.
