RCINCLUDE Statement

Syntax:

  RCINCLUDE filename

The RCINCLUDE statement causes RC to process the resource script file specified in the filename field along with the current resource script file. The contents of both files are compiled by RC and the results are placed in one binary resource file and/or executable file.

filename

Specifies the name of the resource script file to be included. If the file is not in the current directory, filename must be preceded by a full path.

Comments

RCINCLUDE statements are processed before any other processing is done, including preprocessing by RCPP.EXE, which removes comments, replaces values in the define directives, and so on.

When specifying a high performance file system (HPFS) file name on an RCINCLUDE statement, enclose the path and file name in double quotes; for example:

   RCINCLUDE "d:\project\long dialog.dlg"

Double quotes enables the Resource Compiler to recognize a name containing embedded blank characters.

Example

This example includes the file DIALOGS.RC as part of the current resource script file.

RCINCLUDE dialogs.rc
