OK, so this is the background... I'm going to manually fix the multiple resource header files in our project. That involves fixing this value, among other things: #define _APS_NEXT_SYMED_VALUE ... that is automatically written to in (normally) resource.h.
It's documented as having this purpose:
_APS_NEXT_SYMED_VALUE is the next symbol value that will be issued when you manually assign a symbol value using the New command in the Symbol Browser.
But where is the Symbol Browser!? I want to know, as I want to know what I'm setting these values for. I know what the Class Browser/View is, I know what the Object Browser is, but this is driving me nuts. :-D I've even googled for "visual studio" "symbol browser", but came up with no documentation of the browser in question. I know I'm at the right place if there's a "New" command there, and I can manually assign a symbol value in it. Hmm...
