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

Time to start using it...

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,
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>

I linked the above and the include from the samples dir.
That way it worked here.
