Yes indeed !

And like I was saying earlier, it's a huge-spare-time-based task !

Hi Napoleon

There is a good WYSIWYG resource editor in the LCC-WIN32 package. I use it as 
a tool menu entry from DevCpp IDE

Just download it at : http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~lcc-win32/

Kind regards

  Hi.
  i am new to dev-c++. i am facing some problems e.g. i am getting =
exactly 31 parsing errors in iostream.h file.  please let me know any =
solution to this problem

  rgd.

Yes, I've seen that there are some bugs in the LCC-WIN32 res editor

You can't check whatever you like when you try to design a listview control 
for example, the dialog box for this seems to be a bit buggy.

And I cannot center an control into a dialog box, clicking on the button just 
doesn't do anything.

But, this is a free product and these bugs are not really cumbersome.

If anyone knows about another good *free* resource editor, I would be glad to 
hear from it. Any URL ?

Kind regards

It's rather hard to find good and free res editor. Maybe it's time to write 
one.
I was thinking about creating such tool but I'm not sure I can manage.
Do you think it is too big enterprise?

It's a knowledge-based task rather than an intelligence-based one. I was,
for long considering writing one (using Allegro), but decided not to. For
one, you need to know all the controls, the syntax, their peculiarities, the
#defines that go into their STYLE statements and their hair colours. That in
itself will be a massive task, even if you have a good reference. It'll take
a long time to reach a respectable stage. If you try to hurry things up,
you'll end up with a half-baked program, and god knows we have enough of
those already. This is probably why you say that it's hard to find a `good
and free res editor'.

However, if you still decide to write one, please let me know, I'd like to
help as much as I can.
