Yes, thanks, I found this myself recently. The fix will be in the next beta (it was a buffer size problem: the IDE is using Unicode and wchar_t internally as of v5.0, but one size was still being calculated for char -- bad, bad dog.)

I have the same problem with a project for Windows Mobile. How can I get back to the resource editor?
Thanks in advance.

This was a problem in beta #1 (IIRC) leading up to version 5.0. In other words, I doubt you can have the exact same problem in the released version. So the obvious question is: what is the problem you actually have?

Pelles C for Windows
Version 5.00.8


I create new project "Test" as "A simple program":
File - New - Project... - Pocket PC Application Wizard

I save and close my project:
DblClick "main.rc"
File - Save All
File - Close Project

I open my project:
File - Open

File "main.rc" open in a text editable format.


If I close project and delete these lines in file "main.rc":

IDR_MNU_MAIN SHMENUBAR
{
  IDR_MNU_MAIN, 1
  I_IMAGENONE, IDM_ABOUT, 0|TBSTATE_ENABLED, TBSTYLE_BUTTON|TBSTYLE_DROPDOWN|TBSTYLE_AUTOSIZE, IDS_ABOUT, 0, 0
}

project open ok.
