Re: [Dev-C++] Where is the Resource Editor?

[Ray K. <he...@er...>]

There are DevPaks for a variety of GUI toolkits. Each of these toolkits
would use a different syntax in its resource file (assuming it has one).

Some of these toolkits will come with a resource editor; some don't.
(I think wxwindows and FLTK both do.)

I was under the impression that that just meant "edit manually" (as a=20
textfile),
however it's possible I've missed something.

I think Dev creates those files when you assign an icon to the project.
(You can do that from Project Options, but I guess you already figured=20
that out.)
You can also create rc files yourself, and Dev won't overwrite them.

They don't get added to the menu automatically. You can find them in=20
Dev-Cpp/bin/
The FLTK one is called Fluid.exe; I don't see one in WxWindows; maybe it
wasn't included in the DevPak version I downloaded last...
You can get a list of all files in a DevPak by using the Package Manager.=
=20
Select the
installed package you're interested in, and click the files tab. If a=20
resource editor
is included, it'll be a .exe

You can add things to the (tools) menu by going to the tools=20
menu/configure tools, then
clicking "add" and filling out the required fields.

Thanks for the info! I'm sure I'll get a hang of it now. What confused me to
start with was that I thought the resource editor was something built into
the IDE.

Actually, I was thinking the same thing.

In that case why does it say "Edit and compile Resource files " on the
dev-cpp page http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/devcpp.html if it's not something
dev-cpp offers? It's even discouraged if you check an .rc file. The text
says "This file will be overwritten by dev-c++! Do not edit!"

And I've installed all the DevPaks and I still can't find a resource editor.
Maybe you get one with the wxWindows that comes with the update function? I
installed a newer one (2.4.2 by Michel Weinachter) to be more up-to-date.

but you can edit and compile resource files but there is not written 
that dev-c++ has _visual_ resource editor

I haven't tried, but the .rc-file says "This file will be overwritten by
dev-c++! Do not edit!". Somehow I think I haven't really understood the
.rc-files. I'll do some more experimenting with it.

Michal,

The .rc files you're talking about are resource files generated by Dev-Cpp;
they are not where you want to put your own resource definitions. To define
your own resources, simply create a new .rc file and include it in your
project.

I found that out and made a resource file. The problem is that I get some
error with a path, but I'll fix that. Thanks :)
