Hi
I've built a custom resource type and added it to Visual Studio. It's shown, when you go to "add -> new item -> resources" ... but, when you use the "add -> resource", this dialog doesn't show it... how can I add something to this dialog?
(C++ projects only)
In a C++ project I added a new Custom Resource to a VS2022 C++ project. After the custom resource was added the resource type that was assigned to it appeared in the "Add Resource" dialog -
yes... that's what I was able to achieve too... but... those resources do always have a string as identifier and you cannot give them a number... you cannot specify the icon and you cannot add them to this dialog without already having them in your .rc file
... so, for a framework or extension project, that's not enough. But this dialog is generated from the resedit.dll via the VCWin32ResourceService service and... to me it seems not to be possible to customize this. ... the dll does contain a typelib. But those interfaces don't seem to offer an option to do that (or I didn't find it)... and in the end an other problem would be, that I'd like to launch my custom editor... and I've also no idea how to link this editor with such a type.

Perhaps you should change the tag of your question to vs-extensions instead of C++
that's right... I did set this... no idea why now it is on C++... ???
Probably edited by a moderator who didn't see the connection to vs-extensions based on the initial question.
