Resource View Window

Note

Not supported in Express editions.

Resource view displays the resource files included in your projects. Expanding the top folder (for example, Project1.rc) shows the resource types within that .rc file. Expanding each resource type shows the individual resources of that type.

Note

If your project doesn't already contain an .rc file, please see Creating a New Resource Script File.

Tip

You can right-click on the Resource View window to launch a shortcut menu of commands. You can also double-click on the title bar to dock or undock the window. Right-clicking on the title bar will give you additional commands that allow you to control the behavior of the window. For more information, see Windows Management.
