Adding support for Win32 .rc resource files in CDT [message #118078] Sun, 29 August 2004 19:15

I would like to be able to add support for Win32 .rc resource files in
the C/C++ Projects view. Ideally, what I would like to have is for each
..rc file in the project, to be able to expand that node into a list of
folders like "Dialogs", "String Table", "Accelerators", and so on, and
then have each of those expand to list the resources of those types.
Double-clicking on one of these resources would open up an appropriate
editor.

My first major hurdle is that .rc files don't even show up in the C/C++
Projects view--presumably because the CDT doesn't have any default
mechanisms to support them. So the obvious first thing I need to do is
get those to show up.

I assume that I can use the managed tool chain to add the resource
compiler into the build process, but the user-interface business is what
I really need to get a grasp of. Is what I'm suggesting even possible,
or does the CDT not support this kind of extension? If anyone knows of
any similar examples or can give me a small push in the right direction,
I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
