How to delete dialog ID's

[tmcole]

I had some naming conflicts in my code with several of my edit boxes in the dialog window, so I renamed the edit boxes to remove the conflicts. However, whenever I add or remove something that generates an ID number in the xxx.fd file, all the conflicting names along with the new names get written back to the xxx.fd file when it is updated, thus requiring me to manually edit the xxx.fd file and delete the offending conflicts over and over and over and over again.

Is there a way to permanently get rid of the &#^$(^% conflicting names?

Resource.h is the referent symbol list -- resource.fd is just automatically generated from it whenever the .rc file is saved and IDE detects that the .h is changed. So, you should edit resource.h, save it, then do something to ensure that .fd is synchronized (i.e. edit it manually or add a dummy control anywhere, save, then remove it).
