Free Resource Editors?
« on: August 29, 2007, 05:06:19 am »
Hello everyone! I was wondering if there were any free resource editors available that did not create wxWidgets dialogs and such. The reason I ask is because wxWidgets is much too large of a download for me. Ergo, I would like an alternative that is free and considerably smaller in size! Thank-you!

I was wondering if there were any free resource editors available that did not create wxWidgets dialogs and such.
E.g. ResEd (http://www.radasm.com/projects/projects.html).
But I don't really get your question: If you want to create wxWidgets dialog resources that this doesn't work with Windows RC resources. An alternative would be XRC - a specific resource file format for wxWidgets in XML but you would have to compile/link against wxWidgets anyway! So if you want to desgn wxWidgets forms you'll need wxWidgets obviously. No matter if you use resources from resource files or implement them "by hand". If you want to write Windows apps using Windows resources than why would you consider wxWidgets at all?! :shock: And how ist this all related to C::B in the end?
With regards, Morten.

I think he means that he doesn't want to include the wxwidgets dll with all his binaries, so he wants to
use a normal windows resource editor, in that case ResED is a good one. But you can always hand edit the .rc files :D.
