Nothing. And that's why it is strange

Well "Normal" has always been the default since I started on CodeProject.

Those magical hex numbers already were popular 30 years ago. How about 0xDEADC0DE? "I have what could be described as the most wide-open sense of humor on the site, and if I don't think something is funny, then it really isn't." - JSOC, 2011 ----- "Friar Modest never was a prior" - Italian proverb

David, thanks for the quick answer. This was helpful.

Never mind :) Apparently you can't drag resources onto a Resource View tab anymore. You have to right-click on Myproject.rc file in Solution Explorer tab and select "Open With..." option. Then choose "Resource Editor" from presented selections. This will open your resource file in "editing mode" and you can drop resources from another .rc file here. Cheers, Damir

I was just writing some code for my idea... Anyways make sure you provide a copy constructor otherwise the complier would provide one and circumvent your code for the following code CMyClass a; CMyClass b = a; This code will not call the = operator. It uses the copy constructor... John
