» Guy Lecky-Thompson - Microsoft Visual C++ Express Edition Missing Features

I may have spoken too soon, when I said that the Express Edition was complete. Rather than re-write the article putting a negative slant on what is still a good compiler, debugger, editor and code management system, I thought I'd start listing the 'Missing Features' in this thread.

Feel free to add your own Microsoft Visual C++ Express Edition Missing Features as you along.

So, Missing Feature (intentional) Number 1 - no Resource Editor. A resource compiler, but no editor.

This means that you can build resources for your Win32 application, but you have to edit the file by hand (right-click the resource file entry, select 'View Code' and away you go).

Luckily, you can get one here : http://www.wilsonc.demon.co.uk/d10resour...

The trick with using this is to assign the new resource editor to be the editing tool to use with this kind of project file.

The tutorial for that can be found here - http://computerprogramming.suite101.com/...

Have fun!
