3.7 Adding Custom Resource Data

You can generate a new custom or data resource by positioning the resource in a separate file
using normal resource script (.rc) file syntax, and then involving that file by right-clicking your
project in Solution Explorer and clicking Resource Includes on the shortcut menu.

To add a new custom or data resource:
1. Create a .rc file that comprises the custom or data resource. You can type custom data in a
.rc file as null-terminated quoted strings, or as integers in decimal, hexadecimal, or octal
format.
2. In Solution Explorer, right-click your project’s .rc file, then click Resource Includes on the
shortcut menu.
3. Then perform the process of compilation
4. Click OK to record your modifications.

3.7.1 Compiling the Resource Data

In the Compile-Time Directives box, type a #include statement that provides the name of the
file including your custom resource.

Example: #include mydata.rc
Confirm that the syntax and spelling of what you type are accurate. The contents of the Compile-
Time Directives box are inserted into the resource script file precisely as you typed them.
Another method to produce a custom resource is to import an external file as the custom resource.
