Resource Files ( .rc .res)

[kedar dave]

hii...i am transferrin the resources from one exe to another.... also i am saving the resources as a .rc using the Resource Hacker software...which replaces the existing .rc file of the project..... but i am getting the following error:- "error RC 2019 : expected preprocessor command, found '1' " (the error gigving line is-- #106 MENU) this one is due to the id of the MENU resource i hav trasnferred from another exe the next error is:- "RC Terminating after preprocessor errors" how can i solve this? is ther another way pf updating the .rc or .res files of a projetc using VC++ programming ? regards, kedar.

Numeric resource IDs in an .rc file are just numbers. A # symbol introduces a preprocessor command (such as #include, #ifdef, etc). Delete the # and you should be fine. You can open an .rc file in Visual Studio, then drag and drop resources from it to the Resources tab of your project. Hold Ctrl to copy resources rather than move (which is, bizarrely, the default). Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder
