[long story cut for brevity] Yes. I can offer an alternative. I have written a resource compiler and a resource editor. The resource compiler is called 'lrc.exe' (lcc's resource compiler), and the editor is called weditres.exe. The editor allows you to design your dialog boxes using an intuitive drag and drop interface: you drag your controls into your dialog box, move them around, etc. It will generate a .DLG file containing an ASCII description of the dialogs that you can #include in your .rc file. It will generate too a .res file that you can link with your executable directly if your compiler supports it. And if you want, it will generate a .c file that implements your dialog boxes and gives them dynamic behaviour like allowing you to change the color or the font of your dialog's text fields, to automatically check things at runtime, etc. You can compile the generated .dlg file with any resource compiler, or you can use lcc's resource compiler "lrc" for doing this. You can download this (and all the lcc compiler) from: http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~lcc-win32 The lcc compiler is a C compiler, not a C++ compiler. It is free software. You do not have to pay anything to use it. Your are only not allowed to resell it. You can resell the programs compiled using lrc or weditres of course. But you shouldn't resell the binaries. P.S. By the way, if you arrive to sell something I am giving for free you are a marketing genius!
