hey all,
what is the story behind the resource editor? Does every project need one?
Is this like the form designer in c#.net?

thanks,

The resource editor, well, edits your resources... If you mean
whether every binary module (EXE ro DLL) needs resources,
I'd advicate for every module to provide at least a version
resource. However, strictly speaking, it's not required. Finally,
one kind of resource is a dialog template. I suppose that's why
you are confusing it with a form designer. And no - this is not
the only form of resource, so it's not analogous to a form designer,
though that's part of its purpose. Its main purpose is organizing
all the resources of a binary module.
