This is simple to do - this has been possible since before the 3.1 days ...
An easy example of this is to use VC++ 6.0 to open an executable (EXE or DLL) file and change the "Open As" type to Resources - you can then view, add, edit and even delete the resources of the application, save the changes back to the executable and then run the application again.
This is the #1 reason why you should never rely on the resources to enforce the behavior of your application (for example, if an edit control should be read-only or disabled, then make sure it is read-only/disabled by setting its style explicitly at runtime). This is something that nails naive developers when they want to do something like release a limited version of their app, but the limits are enforced strictly via the resources. This can also be a good thing - it allows well-written apps that keep all strings in their resources to be localized without access to the source code.
Using the APIs to do this is a bit tricky (and note that the APIs were not originally available on Win95, but only on WinNT) - it is easier to use something like VC++ 6.0 to do it.
Do you really need to know the APIs, or can you just use VC++ 6.0 to make the necessary changes?
Peace!

Thanks for the good advice,
I need to know the API's to be able to modify exe resources programmatically,
using visual c++ manually does not solve my problem.
A simple example of the stuff I need to do:
The program I am writing "Program B" needs to take user input, for example:
"This is my String" is entered into an Edit ctrl.
A string resource with a value of "This is my String" then needs to be created
in "Program A"(ProgA.exe). So when "Program A"(ProgA.exe) is executed it is able to display "This is my String" in a msg box/window etc...
I will look into the API's you have told me about, I think they will be a great help.
Once again, Many thanks.

Visual C++ 6 or Embedded Visual C++ support the notion of a source browser, should it be enabled. It's quite useful and allows rapid navigation across the project for a variety of things. Does anyone know if there is a command line interface for it?
I would like to be able to ask the browser (or any other tool for that matter): please list for me all of my classes and their member functions. Please sort by class name, public then private methods.
Any one have any suggestions? I could do this years ago on a mini. True, I didn't have visual editting, but the command line / text output was valuable for custom processing....

Bonjours
I wish to add a add in in exel XP 2002 with Windows SP2.
For that I have three file has to install:
1 fichier.lgc has to install in \ Windows \ applog
First problem I do not find this repertory hidden under same XP SP2 with the good options to select in Windows to explore. Thus I have to arrange this file in \ Windows \ appPatch and in \ Windows \ Prefetch in the place and the problem comes from I think.
1 fichier.xll has to install in \ office \ xlstart
1 fichier.ppp has instaler in \ office \ xlstart
And when the double click on the fichier.xll for the throw the error message is as follows “WinRT Driver not installed”.
Thus my questions are is this normal that I do not find the file \ Windows \ applog under win XP SP2 and how to install WinRT driver. Or then where to arrange my fichier.xll which must normally be in the repertory \ Windows \ applog
Thank you has all in advance for your assistance.

anyone can teach me and explain this code below cleary:
<br />
void sort_arr(const char *p_array[]){<br />
int comp_val, low_index, hi_index;<br />
const char *tmp;<br />
<br />
for(low_index = 0;p_array[low_index] != 0 &&p_array[low_index+1] != 0;low_index++){<br />
<br />
for(hi_index = low_index+1;p_array[hi_index] != 0;hi_index++){
<br />
comp_val=strcmp(p_array[hi_index],p_array[low_index]);<br />
if(comp_val >= 0)
continue;<br />
<br />
tmp = p_array[hi_index];<br />
p_array[hi_index] = p_array[low_index];<br />
p_array[low_index] = tmp;<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}

this is one type of sorting...it is bubble sorting ....there are various types of sorting algorithn ...u may search on net .... u give the desired output and explaination of what is the logic behind it
Yes U Can ...If U Can ,Dream it , U can do it ...ICAN

It's the loop control variable.

Here's the deal. I am developing an internet multiplayer game. The game has many regional variations, rules and scoring systems. Rather than hardcode all this information into the program, I have built in a script parser, so now all users need to do is write a scripted extension to the game. The script will then parse data from the exe checking the validity of a game and/or returning a score.
The thing I'm worried about is users hacking these scripts for their own benefit. I could create and embed a hash key into the script and send this across the network, but even that could be modified. Any thoughts on this?

This is not reliable. For example what about windowess controls. Also even if the control has a HWND is may not be a child of the dialog - when ATL hosting code is used this be the case for example.

Hello,
I have a floating point variable:

How do I round it too a desired number of decimal places?
Thanks,

u use %.2f format specifier in place of %f
float fMyFloat;
printf("%.2f",fMyFloat);

Sir,
I want to do the sane thing in vc++ I mean i don't want to use printf .I mean i have to round a float variable .Can i know a function that do this functionality.
Thanks

First you have to decide what kind of rounding you’re after. There are four common ways rounding can be performed:
- Towards +ve infinity.
- Towards -ve infinity.
- Towards 0.
- Away from 0.
Towards +ve infinity:
In this mode we choose the closest number that’s higher. For example, if rounding to the nearest integer:
1.6 -> 2
-1.6 -> -1
Towards -ve infinity:
In this mode we choose the closest number that’s lower. For example, if rounding to the nearest integer:
1.6 -> 1
-1.6 -> -2
Towards 0:
In this mode we chose the closet number in the direction of zero. For example, if rounding to the nearest integer:
1.6 -> 1
-1.6 -> -1
Towards 0:
In this mode we chose the closet number in the direction away from zero. For example, if rounding to the nearest integer:
1.6 -> 2
-1.6 -> -2
For simplicity I’ll only consider the “Towards +ve infinity” mode. If you want to round a double or float to the closest integer code like this will do it:
int n = double_val+0.5;
To a double to the nearest tenth:
double n = floor(double_val*10.0+0.5)/10.0;
To a double to the nearest hundredth:
double n = floor(double_val*100.0+0.5)/100.0;
