Lol. Well I'm thinking of something. Add the resource file to the templates :D (but um... all of them? :? dunno)

kagerato:
You should be able to use GoRC to achieve what you want.

http://www.godevtool.com/
http://www.jorgon.freeserve.co.uk/ResourceFrame.htm

The second link contains the manual, which is rather comprehensive.  There's an example of a VERSIONINFO resource about halfway down the page.

vserghi:
kagerato, thanks for the web sites. From what I have seen in C::B, res files are created from rc files automatically on compilation, so the GoRC.exe shouldn't be needed.

However, these led me to other sites which allowed me to figure out how the rc files are built up. I should be able to make up a basic rc file now :). Although I've still got to look at what else can go in it apart from version info and the app icon (in fact, figure out how the app icon line is built up), a closer inspection of the second website should help.

I would still like to see this information written into a form of some kind in C::B though, like DevCpp does.

Thanks for all your help guys.  :)

Vasilis.

zieQ:
You may find some bitmaps, icons, menus, dialogs (I think)... In fact, whatever could appear on the GUI of your WIN32 application. wxWidgets don't use these resources, but it may be usefull to have them treated, for example to build VST plugins.

APEXnow:
I was also curious about this subject regarding version information for applications.  Found the following MSDN link detailing everything you need to place into a resource file for versioning your DLL/EXE.
