I just need to parse the RC file (source file of resource datas). I need it because I've made a C compiler (for non windows plateform) and I would like to use the VC resource editor to create dialogs. So I need to compile the RC file or convert the RES file.<br />

Correction - the 2nd paramter (LPVOID) of the callback is the pointer to the resource data e.g. DLGTEMPLATE. (I lied when I suggested it was imediately after the header).

Hi,<br />
I need to parse Visual C++ RC file (Resources files). In fact, I need to get the list of all resources and the content of each resources (position and type of buttons in the dialog...) at build time, not dynamicly.<br />
<br />
I can parse RC file or use the RC.EXE compiler and parse the RES file, many some api can help me?<br />
<br />
RC files are quite difficult to parse, I have only few documentation. <br />
<br />
I am looking for sample code if any (C,lex&amp;YAcc...)<br />
<br />
Thanks

Parsing RC or RES file

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.
