A question regarding resource (.rc) files

Feb 21, 2011 at 10:54pm
This might sound dumb but I seriously cannot find it on Google.

Are resource files specific to Visual Studio?

Not 100% of your question, but My understanding is that .rc can not be used easily in Express edition.

I think there is a trick to getting them to work with the Express edition. The paid versions should be Drag-N-Drop.

No, they're not. They can be used with any compiler that can compile for Windows.

That's self made ones, to the best of my knowledge only a paid version of MSVC++ has a good resource editor that you can just click some buttons.

I use ResEdit to visually edit .rc files of VC++ Express projects not created by the wizard but from a simple template.
