Builder C++ creating STRINGTABLE in resource

Question

I cannot find anywhere how to create a stringtable in Builder C++ 2010. Do I have to use an external editor or is there another way?

Answer 1

There is no resource editor built in to C++Builder 2010. You can easily add either a .res file built with another tool, or create a .rc file to add to your project and have the resource compiler create the resource. The following is an example of an .rc file which includes a string table

#define IDS_HELLO    1
#define IDS_GOODBYE  2

STRINGTABLE
BEGIN
    IDS_HELLO,   "Hello"
    IDS_GOODBYE, "Goodbye"
END
