"Importing .Gif files"
-
Hi, In Add resource of resource view i created a custom resource "GIF" and tried to import a gif file saved in "res" folder of my project. it is then asking me to enter resource type of the file i am importing and when i enter it as gif .. its saying file is not of required format and thus importing is failed. i repeated this with other .gif files which are succesfully imported by other people in their projects and failed again for the same above reason. any idea on how to import custom resources or specifically .gif files... ?

What version of VS are you using? I just tried it on VS2003 and it worked fine. You shouldn't need to put the gif file in the res folder - VS will do that for you when you import the file. Mark

I have VS2003 so I can't try it. In 2003, specifying a resource type "gif" creates a new resource type and adds the binary image of the gif file to the resources. On 2005 do you have to add a new resource category first before you import the gif file? Mark
