Corrupt RES File May Crash Dialog Editor

ID: Q70072

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) versions 3.0, 3.1

SUMMARY

A corrupt RES file may cause the Dialog Editor distributed with the Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) to crash. If the Dialog Editor crashes consistently processing a particular file, delete the RES file created by the Dialog Editor and use the resource compiler to recompile the DLG dialog script file.

MORE INFORMATION

To compile the DLG dialog script file, you must include WINDOWS.H at the top of the script. You must make the following line the first line in your DLG file:


   #include <windows.h>

To compile the dialog script file using the resource compiler, use the following command line:

rc mydlg.dlg

where "mydlg" is replaced with the name of the dialog script file. This will produce a RES file that can be used by the Dialog Editor and should help to alleviate the crashing problems.
