migration problems from CVF to IVF

skyflash — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 11:05:59 GMT

I just started to use Intel Visual Fortran 11 after years of CVF 6.6. Most of the software that I developed includes dialog boxes, that means to create end edit .rc files. In IVF these files exist again but no modifications are allowed; if I want to edit a dialog box (or more in general have access to controls toolbox) I need to work with .rct files. I tried to open my CVF .dsw and .dsp files with IVF but it tell me they are corrupt, so probably I need to recreate the project...now the question is: how can I convert my old .rc files in .rct files? I tried to rename or save as and changing the extension but it doesn't work. I attach the .rc file that I'm trying to convert (if I use with CVF it works )
Thanks for help

To import CVF dsw and dsp files to Intel Fortran You need to install trial version of Microsoft Visual studio (not partenr edition shipped with Intel Fortran) and install fortran compiler. Then You open dsw file and right click on project in project tree and select something like "convert to Fortran project". I do not remember precisely.

I am using ResEdit resource editor (Unicode version) see http://www.resedit.net/ It works well.

Quoting - Quba

thanks for help; I tried ResEdit but it saves as .rc file. When I try to open with IVF I cannot edit it and I can see just the text version, not the dialog boxes that I created.

You must use ResEdit to view the dialogs. The bundled Visual Studio Premier Partner Edition does not include the Microsoft resource editor, which MS does not make available to us.
