How to edit .rc file

Question

Which edit IDE is recommend for .rc file https://github.com/chromiumembedded/cef ... /shared.rc

Simple edits can be done by hand (it’s a text file), or use Visual Studio for more complex edits like defining dialogs, etc. See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/resource-editors?view=msvc-170

I don't know what is the .rc file language. It is not like python, c++,...

Is there a edit tool to generate the .rc file?

I try to git clone https://github.com/chromiumembedded/cef-project and follow

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/resource-editors?view=msvc-170 to open Property page that is empty.

If you have the picture for using the cef project and step by step to show how to do it.

Thanks

Hi, @alice alice •

rc file is Windows Resource Script.

For more information, please read Resource-Definition Statements.

1. Open developer command prompt -> use

  cmake .

command in cef-project-master folder to generate Visual Studio Solution (cef.sln).

2. open sln -> expand example folder -> find shared project
3. Right click shared project -> Add existing item -> select win folder -> select all items in win folder.

Now in resource view, you can edit the .rc file in visual style by double clicking.

And add resource
