   Will this wonderful app understand Unicode someday?

   Hi, many thanks for this great Tool.

   Commandline support would be a nice thing.
   jwasm is Unicode-Ready

   Hello,
   I’m French, so sorry for my poor English.

   I encounter a bug with ResEd, which is include in FBEdit (1-7-0-3). I build an application with a main dialog which has got a Tab control. At the WM_INITIALIZE, i create Resource child dialogs linked to it (with command CreateDialogParam()).
   I’ve created the dialogs with ResEd like that:
   - creation of the main dialog with a lot of controls and the Tab control;
   - creation of the menu’s resources;
   - creation of child dialogs for the 6 tabs of the main dialog

   But at the execution, CreateDialogParam() for the tabs returns NULL. After a long time, i find that the .rc format is invalid: the DIALOGEX blocs are separated with the MENU bloc (same order that creation order), and the sub-dialogs rc definitions are inaccessible !

   What would be great is that when you’re saving, all the DIALOGEX blocs would be saved together consecutively, not according to the order of their creation.

   Thanks for this great free IDE and long time to freeBasic!

   As a long time Radasm user , I really like the package. I retired last year and using it again. I will post source code for my projects when I clean them up.

   [...] 商業產品的一個優點是，他總是把用戶的一切需求都事先考慮到。而開源或說自由軟件產品似乎總是先假設用戶是位計算機高手……linux就是很好的例證。於是，如果程序員只是你的理想，而不是你現在的身份，你最好先選擇商業化的IDE，以為它適合並充分考慮到了你這樣的人。我選擇的是visual studio 2010 express，中文名就做速成版。不算臃腫，也不會給自己又增加一頂盜版的帽子（已經夠多了）。不支持MFC沒關係，反正我不喜歡。但沒有資源編輯器就是個大問題。在Dev-C++中存在同樣的問題，以至於我剛開始時搞不懂如何給Dev項目添加一個資源文件。在兩個IDE中，我都選擇了ResEd，再加自己動手編輯資源文件的彙編代碼。沒學過彙編沒一點關係，那個文件裏絕大多數的代碼只要懂點英語就搞得懂。 [...]

   Love ResEd - clean, easy to use and produces very understandable output.

   One thing with which I am still struggling is how to incorporate the output file into a MASM32 (qEdit) project. I’ve tried several different combinations of commands and it isn’t working.

   Does the file only need to be included in the project during link time? If so then I’m really confused on how to reference the controls within the MASM32 code itself.

   Any ideas/thoughts/suggestions would be most appreciated.

   Thanks in advance.

    [...] wxWidgets doesn’t have a C API. You might use ResEd instead. I’ve been using IUP a lot, since I want the software to work with both linux and [...]
