Copying a dialog resource between projects with MSDEV 2008

Hi, Anyone know how to copy a dialog resource from one project into another with MSDEV 2008. This used to be easy and intuitive with VCPP 6.0 but then again most things were :mad: TIA Tony

You can open the other resource in the same devenv and then copy it. Then copy in necessary contents.

Thanks for the reply but I have tried this without success. I have opened the RC file and selected the dialog resource I want and seleted copy. The problem is that it wont let me paste it into the resorces of my other project - the paste option is disabled :( Any ideas why it could be disabled? Thanks Tony

If you open the second RC file in the resource editor, can you drag/drop resources into the resource view of the current solution? That worked in VC 6, although I give no guarantee that the feature has survived into the current VS design.

Hi, Yes, that's how I used to do it in VC6 but it doesnt appear to work in MSDEV 2008. I have found using MSDEV 2008 frustrating, some things are done differently and other things you just can't do. In trying to be all things to all languages, it's lost some of it's great features and is soooo slow. Thanks anyway, I guess I will just have to create the dialog again from scratch. :thumbsup:
