generating resource.fd from resource.h

chunky_lover_23 · ‎10-19-2010

I'm trying to use IVF after years of semi-successfull CVF use.

I've used ResEDIt to edit and generate a dialog reource and have created the resource.h file and the resource.rc file (which compiles ok)

Depite following the "6 steps" rule with deftofd as advised in the help I cannot generate the resource.fd file

Any ideas (i've added the vfproj and build log files) ?

I'm NOT running under ADMIM on a Vista Workstation with the following software

Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
Version 8.0.50727.42 (RTM.050727-4200)
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 2.0.50727 SP2

What happens if you manually create a resource.fd file (it can be empty), then modify the rc file? For some reason, it's not running the custom build step to build resource.fd.

the error messages associated with not having the resource.fd file included dissapear and the resource .fd file is updated (good). But the contents of the resource.fd file do not seem correct - specifically there is no reference to the "ok" or "cancel" buttons

integer, parameter :: IDD_DIALOG1 = 100

integer, parameter :: $_WIN32 = 1

character(len=4), parameter :: IDC_STATIC = ("(-1)")

... is this what would be expected based on the .rc file:

What does the resource.h look like? That's what deftofd looks at.

You're correct - reource.h also did not reference the ok or cancel buttons. Deleting and re-creating these buttons in ResEDIT and re-saving the resource.h file fixed the issue.

If my memory serves me well, IDOK and IDCANCEL are "magic" constants defined in DFWINTY (and somewhere beneath windows.h and should not be redefined in the resource.h file.
