Using the Resource Editor

If you know how to drag&drop and copy&paste you are ready to use Interface Elements.


Creating a New Resource File

Select "New Resource" from the main menu.


Opening a Resource File


Adding a Resource


Editing a Resource


Saving a Resource as File


Saving a Resource as C Source

In the Generic Editor when you drag the resource data to a Browser window, you will be asked if you want to save the data as binary or C source. Select 'C Source'.


Concatenating Data

In the Generic Editor when you drag anything to the already existing data, you will be asked if you want to replace or append the dragged data. Select 'Append'.


Generating C++ files

First select the folder where you want to put the files (default: folder of the resource file) by selecting 'Options' from the 'Generate' menu. Then select 'Generate Source'. Currently no BeIDE project file is created, so you have to create one, and drop the files in it. For an explanation what files are created, press here.


Saving Your Work

Select "Save" or "Save As" from the "File" menu.
