Application Wizard—Resources

Creates a resource file containing strings, but not bitmaps, for your application.

A resource file is useful:

• To list strings and control captions that you want to translate into another language.

  Note   For menus, the Resource ID appears as the Caption in the Menu Editor. For all other controls the Tag property in the Properties window is used to store the Resource ID.

• To organize your code so that strings that are frequently used are loaded in memory and called from one location.
  
  
• When you have information that may change and you don't want to re-edit your code.

  Note   You can have only one resource file per project.
