Changing a Symbol's Numeric Value
For symbols associated with a single resource, you can use the Properties Window to change the symbol value. You can use the Resource Symbols dialog box to change the value of symbols not currently assigned to a resource. For more information, see Changing Unassigned Symbols.
To change a symbol value assigned to a single resource or object
In Resource View, select the resource.
Note
If your project doesn't already contain an .rc file, please see Creating a New Resource Script File.
In the Properties window, type the symbol name followed by an equal sign and an integer in the ID box, for example:
IDC_EDITNAME=5100
The new value is stored in the symbol header file the next time you save the project. Only the symbol name remains visible in the ID box; the equal sign and value are not displayed after they are validated.
