2.1 Including Resources in an Application

To include resources in your Windows application, do the following:

1.Create individual resource files for cursors, icons, bitmaps, dialog boxes, and fonts. To do this, you can use Microsoft Image Editor and Dialog Editor (IMAGEDIT.EXE and DLGEDIT.EXE) and Microsoft Windows Font Editor (FONTEDIT.EXE).

2.Create a resource-definition file that describes all the resources used by the application.

3.Use RC to compile the resource-definition file.

4.Add the compiled resource files to the application's compiled executable file.
