    Resolved [RESOLVED] Resource Files

    Is it possible to store things from my compiled program in 'resource files' so people with Resource Hacker can customize my program better? I'd like some icon files and a string table to be editable. Thanx!

    Yes, you can.

    Then you can use the following methods to use the resource item in your code.
    LoadResData
    LoadResPicture
    LoadResString
