Resource identifier

[Christian]

Hello,

I don't know if this bug has been accosted yet, but if you delete a resource (dialog, menu, etc.) and you create a new one, the new one gets the old identifier and you have to change the ID with #(Nr.) first, after that you can change the identifier.

I think, the identifier stays in the resource.h file?

It's not a big problem, but sometimes irritating.

I'm not at all sure that can be described as a bug Christian, it just happens to be the way  it's done.

Over the years I've always maintained my RC files by hand.

I usually prefer this behaviour (which is why it works this way in the first place!), but IIRC the 'Make totally unique resource identifiers' in 'Tools -> Options -> General' was added to handle this or a similar situation (I don't remember exactly, and I don't have to source code with me right now) - try it...
