    Hello, Any hint on how to remove unused resource strings? One of my projects functionality has shrinked and now I got a lot of resource strings defined in the string tables but they are not used any more. Do you have a tool/hint/macro/add-in that may help to detect and remove unused resource strings? I also use this great tool: Resource ID Organizer Add-In for Visual C++ [^] --- Ricky -- **Ricky Marek** (_AKA: rbid_) -- "Things are only impossible until they are not" --- Jean-Luc Picard My articles

      In VC6, do View | Resource Symbols and delete the unused ones. /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | Freeware | Music ravib@ravib.com

        True, This goes also for VC 7.* for unused Resource Symbols.. My question was not for Resource Symbols but Resource Strings. Once you define a Resource String (Add an item on the String Table), it will appear as an used Resource Symbol even if you don't use the just defined Resource String on your code. That is, I'm looking for a way to discover (and maybe delete) all the unused Resource Strings on the code. Thanks in advance.. --- Ricky. P.D. the underlined words above are for differentiating the words, not because I'm "shouting" or "angry". :rolleyes: -- **Ricky Marek** (_AKA: rbid_) -- "Things are only impossible until they are not" --- Jean-Luc Picard My articles
