To open a resource for binary editing

1. Open the project or resource script containing the resource to be edited.
   
   
2. Select the specific resource file you want to edit.
   
   
3. Click the right mouse button and choose Open Binary Data.

If you want to use the Binary editor on a resource already being edited in another editor window, close the other editor window first.

Note   If you use the ResourceView window to open a resource with a format that Microsoft Visual C++ does not recognize (such as a VERSION, RCDATA, or custom resource), the resource is automatically opened in the Binary editor.
