Hello,
i have got a problem to jump to my strings in the RC file. When i place the cursor on the constant (IDS_MYSTRING) and press the "GO" button VAX 1299 jumps to the definition in the resource.h file. In former versions of VAX i could choose if i want to jump to the resource.h file or to the myapp.rc file.
Any idea why i can't choose anymore.
Regards
Sascha |

first the "silly" question. i don't use string resources myself, so why would the constant be defined in more than one .h file?
do you know which version of VA you were using to get the option of which file to open? |

Not two .h files, feline. One .h file and one .rc file. The way resources work, in resource.h you have something like#define STR_MY_STRING 177 and then in ProjectName.rc you haveSTRINGTABLE
BEGIN
STR_MY_STRING "This is the text of my string"
ENDAnd then in the source you can doCString s;
s.LoadString(STR_MY_STRING); |

*ah* that sort of makes sense.
besa do you remember which version of VA gave you the choice of destination? this might help me find out why this changed, if it was a deliberate change. |

Hello again,
i found out that this worked unter NT4 and maybe unter Win 2000. I have added a screenshot of how it should be.
Regards again
Sascha

Hello all,
I've tested this (for the first time) today. Within a .cpp file, I placed my cursor on a string defined in a resource file and pressed ALT-G. It offered me three places, one in the resource.h file, and two in the resource file (.rc) itself (one for the Dutch version and one for the English version). When I clicked on one of the later two, the resource view was activated, and the indicated line number was searched in the current (.cpp) file, not within the .rc file. (This probably has to do with the resource file opening in the Resource view by default.)
If VA X could go to the indicated location within the .rc file (in the text editor), would be great.  I'm interested in the reaction of support.
I must add that I like the ALT-G functionality. (And feline, you were right -in that other thread- it is quite fast.)
With kind regards,
Patrick Luja |

these days i have a working string table test application, woohoo!
i am seeing the same menu as patluja on alt-g. for me selecting the rc file is not successfully taking me to the rc file, and is instead causing the caret to jump within the current cpp file, so that is a bug. i am not quite sure what selecting the rc file should do though.

Dear feline (and all others),
When you double click on the .rc file in the Solution Explorer, by default behaviour the Resource View pops up. So it gives you the graphical representation of the .rc file.
It would be nice to have the .rc file opened within the text-editor. (Normaly you do this by right clicking on the .rc file and then say "Open with...", "Source Code (Text) Editor" - in Visual Studio .Net 2003 at least).
With kind regards,

are you saying you want VA's alt-g function to open the rc file in the editor (which you have already requested) or are you saying that you want the rc file to open in the editor when you double click on it in the Resource View?
my gut instinct is that double clicking on the Resource View is outside of VA's area. also, is it not possible to configure this by setting the default editor for rc files? i have the feeling you can set the default editor somewhere in the IDE's options for various things. |

Dear feline,
Sorry for the confusion.
The first remark was to state a possible explanation why ALG-G causes the Resource View to pop up and it jumps in the current file: if you compare it to clicking on a file in the Solution Explorer, it first opens the file, then jumps to the right place. With the .rc file: the file is opened (causing the Resource View) to pop up (but no other file to be opened inside the editor) and jumps in the current editor file to the right place.
The second line states that it would be nice that the .rc file (its source code) would be opened inside the editor and then jump to the right place.
So I (again) requested the first option you've mentioned. Not implying any of the second option.
Thanks.
With kind regards,
Patrick Luja |
