Resource BCC to VS

[Marc Vanzegbroeck]

Hi,

I want to compile my recource that was created in BCC to VS, but got errors like SS_RIGHT, SS_LEFT not defined.

What is the best way to convert it?
I want to open it in VS2015, but I only see the text-file. Is there also an visual-resource-editor available in VS2015?

Easiest way is to do #include <windows.h> at the top

Yes, there is a resources editor built in the IDE

Antonio,

I opened the .RES file that was created in BCC in FW32 with VS2015, and than saved it as .RC, and it worked....
The only problem is that my application gives a windows error (0x000007b) when opening it . I take a look why...
The sample-files with resources runs fine..

If you are using a manifest file, this change is important if you build your app for 32 and bits using the same RC file:

#ifndef __64__
1 24 "WindowsXP.Manifest"
#endif

#ifdef __64__
1 24 "WindowsXP.Manifest64"
#endif

To compile your resources for 64 bits remember to use -D__64__

if EXIST %1.rc %bcdir%\bin\brc32 -r -D__64__ -I%bcdir%\include -I%bcdir%\include\windows\sdk %1

Thank you,

adding

Code: Select all  Expand view

#ifdef __64__
1 24 "WindowsXP.Manifest64"
#endif

also solved the problem in my previous post regarding VS2015

Now I'm going to test it with BCC7.1 and let you know the result
