Working with resources

[yardenmo]

Hello,

1.
In screen.txt it is written:"Please be aware that you can not use Borland resources workshop to manage your 32 bits DLL as it gets corrupted."

Is it still so, as the file screen.txt is from 2003?


2.
In rc2dll32.bat, it is looking for BCC32 and BRC32.

In order to use resources, do I need to convert the RC to dll?
(In Client sample the resource file is client.rc)


Thanks,
Moshe Yarden

Yes, it remains the same, as there has not been a Borland Workshop upgrade.

You can use RC files in 32 bits. Its fully supported. What you can not do is to edit a 32 bits DLL from Borland Resources Workshop as it may get corrupted.

You can choose to work with RC files or DLL files, as you prefer. You can use free PellesC as the resources editor for your 32 bits DLL.

Moshe,

The above applies to FiveWin for Pocket PC as they are 32 bits apps too.

The only difference is that instead of bcc32.exe and brc32.exe, you have to use vc.exe and rc.exe from VCE

rc2dll.bat need to be modified for Pocket PC (to use vc.exe and rc.exe).

Thanks.

I'll try it.
