| drake | Cause they don't let you modify the resource files by text without throwing a shit fit at you. Its a pain in the butt and if your into editing your own resource files in C++ don't use this compiler. That is unless you like MFC and all that microsoft sugar coating that makes it only work for them. | July 28, 2003, 7:22 AM |
| DarkMinion | This has nothing to do with programming, it is simply someone bitching about a particular program that they don't like. Delete this thread, please. | July 28, 2003, 8:11 AM |
| Adron | Umm, exactly what makes it hard to edit a resource script as a text file in msvc? It didn't seem hard last time I tried... | July 28, 2003, 9:08 AM |

BTW, .rc files are not "written in C++"; it's a definition-language specific to the resource compiler. | July 28, 2003, 3:09 PM |
| Adron | And MFC is rather nice too, makes programming very sweet | July 28, 2003, 5:28 PM |
