Resource Comparer Description

The Resource Comparer application was developed to be a small tool that will allow you to compare two .RC-files and shows important differences. Useful if you create programs in multiple languages. I have been using the resource editor in Visual C++ for a while to create programs in multiple languages. It works great and is very easy to use. But it is quite hard to keep all languages synchronized. For example, if you upgrade your program and add a control, you will probably need to add it in other languages as well. This is easy, if you remember to do it. To solve this, I created a tool that compares two resource-files (.rc) and notices if something doesn't look right (like missing controls, different window styles...).RC is quite straightforward to use. Select the two files you want to compare, and click on Compare. After a couple of seconds is the comparing done and you see the result. If you have resources in multiple languages in a file and just want to read a specific language, write the language string in the language boxes (like LANG_ENGLISH for English). Leave this empty if you want to read all languages.In the bottom of the window are error messages if the program fails to parse the files. Detected languages will also be found here.Another feature of the program is that it could extract all strings from a file. This is very useful if you want to spell check your program, just click on "Make string list" and copy the log to a word processor. Only "File 1" will be used in this function.If you want to see all resources in "File 1", click on "Make resource tree". If you uncheck "Only IDs", then you will also see all settings that the program has found (like strings, style of controls).The fourth button, "Translation table", creates a table where you see how strings are translated. If you check "LocalizeRC INI", the output will be written as an INI-file to use with LocalizeRC.
