error RC2135 when compiling

sumitm · ‎05-21-2008

Hi,

I have a problem compiling an IVF10 dialog box application.

The application compiles fine as is but blows up if I make any change in the dialog box, like add any control

The error is

C:folderlow3d.rc(221): error RC2135 : file not found: 0x4e2a

The .rc file is physically present but the compiler complains it is not there. I made a backup copy of the rc file and if I replace that the application compiles fine. So I cannot make any changes to my dialog box is the problem.

I did a CompareIT between the changed and the old rc file and I see that some things are different

The header is now

// Microsoft Visual C++ generated resource script.

instead of

//Microsoft Developer Studio generated resource script.
By the way the old one was CVF compiled which I had "successfully" recompiled in IVF

IDD_Load_DXF DIALOG DISCARDABLE0,0,371,17 changed to IDD_Load_DXF DIALOGEX 0, 0, 371, 17

More of the differences are shown in the attached picture

I checked the resource.fd and .h files. They got updated with the new control and the rc file too. I tried a different control, same problem.

It complains file not found.

Thanks for any help

Sumit

An Update,

I am manually able to get by

by editing the old.rc file in a text editor

For example I added the following two lines after guessing the controlslocation

EDITTEXT IDC_Pref_loc,129,71,40,14,ES_CENTER | ES_AUTOHSCROLL
LTEXT "Pref Temp ",IDC_STATIC,22,75,103,8
END

I must not be having some setting right from the IDE itself.

I have C++ 2003 and IVF 10

Thanks for any guidance.

Please note that it is not the Fortran compiler that is complaining but rather the Microsoft Resource Compiler.

Can you post the actual new .rc file? I think the problem is in a part you didn't show.

sumitm · ‎05-21-2008

Steve,

Thanks for responding.

Please find attached the rc file that works now.

Sumit

I dont see an option to upload so I am pasting the rc file

I meant the updated .rc that does NOT work. You can rename it as a .txt and use the Options tab to attach it.

sumitm · ‎05-21-2008

Steve,

Attached is an rc file that I added a new edit box in from the IDE and it stops compiling.

The file is saved as a .txt

Thanks

Steven_L_Intel1 · ‎05-21-2008

Please also attach, as a txt, your resource.h

sumitm · ‎05-21-2008

Steve,

Pls find attached as a zip

Thanks

Steven_L_Intel1 · ‎05-21-2008

Curious. Has to do with those two "data" sections at the end. If you add "RCDATA DISCARDABLE" after IDR_DATA1 and IDR_DATA2 that error goes away.

At this point I'll have to ask one of the Win32 programming experts to chime in.

sumitm · ‎05-21-2008

Thanks Steve.

That works. I can add that easily each time.

I will try deleting those two data from .rcand re entering and see if it makes it more compatible.

Thanks for your help

Jugoslav_Dujic · ‎05-22-2008

For what it's worth, I've seen erratic behavior of MS Resource Editor related with custom data (RCDATA) back in CVF/Visual Studio 97 days. It's been long since, but I assume the current resource editor comes from the same code base.

In my case, an attempt to edit through IDE a .rc file which contained RCDATA in form of references to external files, resulted in "including" the file contents within the .rc file code (in form of BEGIN...0xABCD...END). Not exactly desired or maintainable. While it's not the same as Sumit's situation, it's similar enough that I suspect there's something fishy in that part of the resource editor code. (Btw, Sumit, what are those RCDATA? Isn't it easier to check "External File"=True and put the link to the file rather than its contents -- unless you don't plan to change the data in the future?)

sumitm · ‎05-22-2008

Jugoslav,

Thanks for your input. I havent used that file= extern before and one of my conderations was that my application may not find that external file as since it relies on the user to put in different inputs and they could be all in different directories. Secondly, the installation directory of the application is not fixed. I think it can all work by storing the paths each time but looks more work and complicated. Instead the data that I want to add or modify to the different input files if somehow stored within my exe then I have known control of its location and makes it easier to handle for me.

Thanks though for your helpful suggestion. Always something to learn from you.

Thanks

Jugoslav_Dujic · ‎05-22-2008

No, you misunderstood. The only difference is for you, i.e. the developer. You can have in the rc file:

IDR_MYDATA  RCDATA  "SomeData.dat"

or

IDR_MYDATA

BEGIN

 0x4e2a, 0x646f, 0x0d65, 0x200a, 0x2020, 0x303...

END

i.e. you can have "SomeData.dat" as a separate file, that you keep along with sources, or have it "imprinted" into the .rc. When it comes to changing the data, method #1 will be likely much more practical (you edit SomeData.dat with a suitable application rather than guessing what the hex figures mean). For the end user, both methods produce the same result: the binary data are embedded in your executable (and you extract them from the code as before, and do something with them).

sumitm · ‎05-22-2008

Thanks Jugoslav for explaining that.

Eons ago in the old CVF forum it was asked by someone what is the purpose of " Add file to project" and it had an option of choosing not only fortran file types but .dat and even .ppt files. The answer that was given was that it has no meaning for theother file typesand is of no use. The questioner persisted that if it is given it must have some use but answer was "no".

If I understand what you are saying one can add different types of files to the project and link it through the rc file as somedata.ext and if you have a use for it, it can beextracted (perhaps not the right word butthe information would be compiled in the exe)from the exe. Is that correct.

Thanks

Jugoslav_Dujic · ‎05-23-2008

You don't have to add those files to the project (the resource compiler will refer to them by the relative path from the .rc file), but you certainly may. Compare with e.g. INCLUDEd source files (.fd) or icons (.ico): the application will build correctly even if they're not in the project (because compiler and resource compiler will look for them in the source directory and other relevant directories, once they found references in the corresponding .f90 or .rc files).

However, it's usually convenient to have them listed among project files: for one, you can easily reach them on a double-click. If you have the project under a source control, those files will also be automatically handled by VS built-in source control tools. Etc.
