Hard coding of resources in the application

Question

I have code that shows a simple dialog and handles a user action (written using a simple WinAPI).

// Display dialog and handle user action
LRESULT choice = DialogBoxParam(NULL, MAKEINTRESOURCE(AP_IDD_DIALOG), NULL, (DLGPROC)DialogCallback, NULL);

Is there a way to hardcode a resource file dialog.rcthat is used to create a dialog? (I would like to get rid of the files .rc, and I'm sure that there is a way, but I do not know what it is :)

Edit

Also, does anyone have any ideas on converting existing files .rcto hard-coded resources? Is it possible?

Answer 5

, DLGTEMPLATE?

Nothing prevents you from simply doing :: CreateWindow's these controls directly. If this is a simple dialog with 2-3 buttons and several text fields, just call :: CreateWindow, passing any common control you use to the window class.

These, in fact, are still DialogXxxxx functions. DLGTEMPLATE is a convenience for declarative styling of your forms, and using the template to make the corresponding calls to CreateWindow, etc.
