Hi all, I am new to visual c++, and found that each C++ project
automatically generates source files and resource files, what are their
roles, respectively? Thanks a lot.
Resource files are specific to the development environment and OS, they
have nothing to do with C++. They are what they say, resources. The
often contain icons, strings, and version information. Fankly I hate
them...too much in Windows programming is done with some stupid static
string embedded in a resource file.
There is a whole OS specific API for dealing with resources in all the
languages you can code in. You need to see a windows specific
newsgroup for more information on them.
