simple dialogue box

[Bob_Fratantonio]

Hello,
I am trying to create a very simple dialogue box to ask the user to select a filename by allowing them to type the filename in an edit box. I looked at the help files but something isn't write. I click on Project->Add New Item and then choose Resource, name the file Filename.rc. Then it opens the file with Microsoft Developer Studio generated resource script in the source files folder. I right click the file, pick Open with -> Resource editor. Then it tells me the file could not be opened with the selected editor. I also tried to move the file to the resource files folder but the same thing happens. Any advice? I am using Intel Fortran Compiler 10.1.011 in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005.

Are you using the bundled Visual Studio 2005 Premier Partner Edition? If so, the resource editor is not provided. You will have to use an independent resource editor or use a "retail" version of Visual C++/Visual Studio.

Yes Steve, I am using the Premier Partner Edition. Can you give me more info on how to proceed?

Thanks,
Bob

You can Google "resource editor download" for some options. I don't have a specific recommendation for you.

I recommend www.resedit.net.

That does indeed look like a great choice. You will need to add the path to the Platform SDK Include folder to its list of include paths.

Thanks guys!

I have another question that is completely unrelated. I am trying to write an optimization routine similar to MATLAB's fminsearch function. Am I on my own here, or are there routines already written?

Thanks much,
Bob
