Edit a dialog with RisohEditor

Open the .rc file you exported last time.

Start RisohEditor, select "Open..." from the "File" menu, move to the previously saved location and select the previously saved file.

[Open file]

If it loads correctly, the resource item is added to the tree view.

[Loaded]

If you expand all tree views, you can see "RT_DIALOG (5)" → "1" → "Japanese (Japan) (1041)".

[Expand tree]

Double-click "Japanese (Japan) (1041)" to open "Edit Dialog".

[Open by double-click]

Now add a STATIC control (label). Right-click the contents of "Edit Dialog" and select "Add Control...".

[Add menu item]

The following "Add Control" dialog opens.

[Add Control]

Select "LTEXT" from "Predefined Controls".

[LTEXT selected]

The "window class name" will automatically become "STATIC". Please enter text of "Hello, Win32 resource" to "Caption" text box. The "caption" is the text that is displayed.

[Caption]

(Translation Note: "Win32リソースさんこんにちは" means "Hello, Win32 resource")

Then press the "OK" button. A label has been added to "Edit Dialog".

[Caption]

It seems to be a little small, so please adjust the position and size of this label with the mouse.

[Adjust position and size]

Save as before. If you are asked to confirm overwriting, click Yes.

Let's open the saved file "kessaku.rc" with a text editor.

[The contents of kessaku.rc]

You can see that the contents edited in the dialog are saved as a DIALOG statement.

The resource data created in this way can be used in the DialogBox API function of Win32API in C/C++ as follows after importing it as a .rc file into the project.

#include <windows.h>

INT_PTR CALLBACK
DialogProc(HWND hwnd, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
    switch (uMsg)
    {
    case WM_INITDIALOG:
        return TRUE;
    case WM_COMMAND:
        switch (LOWORD(wParam))
        {
        case IDOK:
            EndDialog(hwnd, IDOK);
            break;
        case IDCANCEL:
            EndDialog(hwnd, IDCANCEL);
            break;
        }
    }
    return 0;
}

INT WINAPI
WinMain(HINSTANCE   hInstance,
        HINSTANCE   hPrevInstance,
        LPSTR       lpCmdLine,
        INT         nCmdShow)
{
    DialogBox(hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(1), NULL, DialogProc);
    return 0;
}

Please use the MAKEINTRESOURCE macro because the resource item name is an integer "1".
