ResEdit is a free Resource Editor for Win32 programs. You can use it if you want to use dialogs, icon, version information or other types of resources. Output files can be compiled by any Win32 compiler, like MinGW and Microsoft Visual C++. To open a file which uses Win32 API symbolic constants, you will also need Win32 header files (usually coming with you compiler).

If you don´t have any C++ compiler, you will need the Win32 headers (mainly windows.h and commctrl.h). You can download the Windows® Server 2003 SP1 Platform SDK to get these files.

Features:

• Importing most of the rc files generated by Microsoft Visual Studio resource editor. Some informations like macro definitions may then be lost while saving the project with ResEdit
• Advanced Dialog editor. All existing kind of Win32 controls are supported (Static text, Buttons, Edit controls, Pictures, ...).
• A basic picture editor to open and modify bitmaps, icons and cursors
