Adding user interface code to new MFC app

[MrPeds]

Hi,

I am converting an MFC application into an MFC extension DLL.

I have used the VC++ AppWizard to create the basic code for the dll.

What i'd like to know is how I add the icons and user interface items contained in the resource script from the original file, and place this into the new code.

I know you can add the file, but can you add the individual items into the new resource script????

Thanks,

MrPeds

MrPeds,

In the VC++ IDE Resource Editor you can copy/paste items like Dialogs,Icons,Bitmaps resources from one project into another.

Also, .rc files are just text files. If your careful you can edit them directly. You will notice that they include "resource.h" from which they use symbols that have been defined.

I think another solution is to start an empty project and add the code you need, then extend it.

What? I don't get that. You just described the normal "new" project developement steps.
