Forgive me if this has been asked but what is the resource editor picture
like for folks using CW on Windows?

Some of my team members are looking at CW on Windows and asking "How do I
create resources?".

Thanks,

This is something we are interested in doing but don't have at this
time.  Our initial attempts at the resource editor was less than
stellar.

You script them.   Many of our users have a library of scripts and they
find it is easier to use them than to try and use a Graphical Resource
editor.  As one person said,  I have to go and tweak the GUI generated
ones anyway.

There are some 3rd party resource generators available although I don't
want to endorse any of them.

You may want to take a look at Dfm2API at www.luigibianchi.com it's a tool
to convert Delphi forms to resource. If you don't have Delphi, I believe a
free version is available from www.borland.com

I'm glad somebody asked, I'm still using the resedit that came with CW5
(and tweaking the output) or cribbing from sample programs.  Is there
online documentation somewhere for handwriting .rc file?

You may want to take a look at Resource Tuner at www.heaventools.com :-)

Look at the WinRC.hlp file that should be on your CodeWarrior Manuals
CD.

You can also try

It's not on the reference cd for CW5 or CW6, haven't ordered 7 yet, is that
where you are finding it?

Oops... on my CW Pro 5 Win Tools CD, it gets installed in the BinSDK/bin
folder, and its called rc.hlp.  I don't have a Pro 6 or Pro 7 CD handy
here to see where it is installed for those versions.  You can download
it as part of the Platform SDK's Core SDK tools from msdn.microsoft.com.

I've discussed this lack with Spec Bowers (the AppMaker author).

I'm willing to put out a free cutdown version of our AppMaker MFC
generator, which could be used with the demo version of AppMaker.

Thus, people can import PPobs or draw their own screens in AppMaker
and generate the resource files and resource.h header for MFC.

With the demo AppMaker, you can't save these projects for later
re-editing.

The free "resource-only" generator would have no restrictions
(obviously I'm hoping some users would be inclined to upgrade to the
full generator, for generating either classic MFC or PP2MFC-compliant
MFC for porting PowerPlant programs).

If you are interested in me doing this free product please

existing generator.

Note: if you've played with the PPob importer in AppMaker before and
been less than impressed, the good news is that I have a vastly
enhanced version which Spec has given me permission to distribute
directly, to save delays whilst he rolls it back into the main
AppMaker distribution.

My enhanced version will import
- most window layout and pane types (as did the original)
- all commands, assigning them to buttons and menu items and
generating user
commands for non-standard commands
- menus and menu bar
- STR and STR# resources to generate STRINGTABLE resources
- images, linked to various buttons

 
 
 

1. generate windows editor entity from a window resource entity

I have created a dialog window with the windows editor and after that I have
deleted the window editor entity (don't ask me why).
Is it possible to re-generate it from the resource entity?
It's hard to do manually cause of the difference between the coordinates in
the windows editor and the coordinates in the resource statement.

Thanks by advance,
