Resource files

[jeroenh]

Is there anybody who can tell me how to edit a resource file other then using the VB add-in for VB Resource Files.

One that can drag and drop or copy and paste.

I have to merge 2 very big resource files and I don't want to retype them. Any suggestions????

You can do it with Visual C++.
Here's how I create resource files: (I have VB 5, without the Resource File Editor Add-in for VB, and I use VC++ 5 to do it)

• Create an empty file with the extension RES. For example, "resource.res".
• Open it (double-click in the file explorer, it should automatically open it in VC++).
• That's the VC++ resource file editor! I'm not sure it will work for what you want, but it's a different one than VB's add-in!

Thank you Yonathan.

Your suggestion might be right, there is only one problem. I don't have visual C++. Or any other C++ editor.

I'm looking for some kind of freeware or shareware program wich can do all this.
