As I said somewhere on this forum I am working on a converter between RC and fasm resource macro format. Such tool will be really useful for all of us coding under Windows. It allows you to create resource (eg. dialogs, icons, etc.) in other program and make the resource compilable under fasm. I present here frst beta release of this program. It still has some things to fix, but is working and someone may find it useful already.
FEATURES:
DISADVANTAGES:
EXAMPLES: Code: ; RC script with all possible dialog controls 100 DIALOG 231, 34, 316, 267 STYLE WS_POPUP | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU CAPTION "Dialog Title" FONT 8, "MS Sans Serif" BEGIN ICON "", 101, 16, 15, 21, 20 LISTBOX 102, 65, 14, 100, 40, LBS_SORT | WS_VSCROLL | WS_TABSTOP LTEXT "Text", 103, 53, 55, 20, 12 EDITTEXT 104, 27, 86, 32, 12, ES_AUTOHSCROLL GROUPBOX "Group", 105, 113, 47, 48, 35 PUSHBUTTON "Push", 106, 88, 116, 40, 14 AUTOCHECKBOX "Check", 107, 173, 89, 40, 10 AUTORADIOBUTTON "Radio", 108, 36, 139, 39, 10 COMBOBOX 109, 36, 154, 100, 35, CBS_DROPDOWN | CBS_SORT | WS_VSCROLL | WS_TABSTOP SCROLLBAR 110, 233, 132, 48, 10 SCROLLBAR 111, 10, 73, 11, 40, SBS_VERT CONTROL "", 112, "Static", SS_BLACKFRAME, 9, 44, 20, 16 CONTROL "", 113, "Static", SS_BLACKRECT, 237, 36, 20, 16 CONTROL "", 114, "SysMonthCal32", 0x1 | WS_BORDER, 170, 161, 140, 100 CONTROL "", 115, "SysListView32", 0x241 | WS_BORDER, 225, 55, 70, 70 CONTROL "", 116, "SysTabControl32", 0x0 | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS, 98, 191, 70, 70 CONTROL "", 117, "SysTreeView32", 0x0 | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS, 25, 191, 70, 70 CONTROL "", 118, "msctls_progress32", 0x0 | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS, 240, 6, 70, 11 CONTROL "", 119, "msctls_updown32", 0x0 | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS, 291, 24, 12, 16, WS_EX_STATICEDGE CONTROL "", 120, "msctls_trackbar32", 0x21 | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS, 181, 18, 100, 18 CONTROL "", 121, "SysDateTimePick32", 0x0 | WS_BORDER, 160, 138, 60, 16 END Code: ;

If you add 'format PE GUI' and include resource macros, it compiles fine! USAGE: Code: rc-converter file.rc After the program finishes there will be new file 'output.inc'. As I will work on it further (adding stringtables, optimizng) I will post here vew versions. When everything is finished I will release the source. Have fun!

Reverend,
Thanks for this tool. I'll give it a try. farrier _________________ Some Assembly Required It's a good day to code! U.S.Constitution; Bill of Rights; Amendment 1: ... the right of the people peaceably to assemble, ... The code is dark, and full of errors! |

very nice tool!
asking: 1.support DIALOGEX (at least simply treat it as DIALOG, just omiting EXSTYLE statement) (+ maybe same to menu ...) 2.optional output filename note to fix: 1. rc-converter /? - crash 2. errorlevel=1 both on error and on success - this aborts batch operations for me thanks! |

also, when this file included at the end of source equs are invisible - maybe there is sence to create to separate files: for equs (to include it first) and for resource directories.
(for me it does not disturb too much as i get autoexport of equs in winasm/wafasm, but they appeared defined twice - at the end and at the start ) |

Reverend,
As a test--related to post http://board.flatassembler.net/topic.php?p=42033#42033 I tried the rsrc.rc from Iczelion's 10-2 tutorial, which included a menu in a dialog, the following occured: The first that happened was, the first line was: Code: #include "resource.h" With no path provided, the resource.h was skipped, but the output from rc-converter was incomplete: Code: IDR_MENU1 equ 3003 IDC_EDIT equ 3000 IDC_BUTTON equ 3001 IDC_EXIT equ 3002 IDM_GETTEXT equ 32000 IDM_CLEAR equ 32001 IDM_EXIT equ 32003 directory RT_MENU, dir_menus resource dir_menus,\ IDR_MENU1, LANG_ENGLISH + SUBLANG_DEFAULT, res_menu0 menu res_menu0 menuitem "Test Controls", 0, MFR_POPUP or MFR_END menuitem "Get Text", IDM_GETTEXT menuitem "Clear Text", IDM_CLEAR menuitem "", , menuitem "E&xit", IDM_EXIT, MFR_END and should have been more like: Code: directory RT_MENU,appMenu,\ RT_DIALOG,appDialog resource appMenu,\ 30,LANG_NEUTRAL,menuMain resource appDialog,\ 31,LANG_NEUTRAL,dlgMain menu menuMain menuitem 'Test Controls',0,MFR_POPUP + MFR_END menuitem 'Get Text',32000,MFT_STRING menuitem 'Clear Text',32001,MFT_STRING menuseparator menuitem 'E&xit',32002,MFR_END dialog dlgMain,'Our First Dialog Box',10,10,205,60,\ DS_CENTER + WS_CAPTION + WS_MINIMIZEBOX + WS_SYSMENU + WS_VISIBLE + WS_OVERLAPPED + DS_MODALFRAME + DS_3DLOOK,0,30 dialogitem 'EDIT','',3000,15,17,111,13,ES_AUTOHSCROLL + ES_LEFT + WS_BORDER + WS_VISIBLE + WS_TABSTOP dialogitem 'BUTTON','Say Hello',3001,141,10,52,13,BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON + WS_VISIBLE + WS_TABSTOP dialogitem 'BUTTON','E&xit',3002,141,26,52,13,WS_VISIBLE + WS_TABSTOP enddialog Some numbers and name are different, but the dialog resource was skipped. When the path to the resource.h file is provided, the resource.h file is converted but only 638 lines worth. And exciting start!! hth, farrier _________________ Some Assembly Required It's a good day to code!

Reverend 07 Aug 2006, 22:24
shoorick: Thanks for info. I'll get all your suggestions into consider
farrier: The "resource.h" (or any other included file) is opened via CreateFile . And so it searches for the file in current directory, in system32, and some others (they're listed somewhere in win32 reference). If you do not put all the included files in the same directory as rc-converter how can this tool know which file to open?
If the resource's name is defined by constant, and the constant has not yet been defined, rc-converter skips whole resource. Eg.: Code: //#define AAA 1 AAA ICON "1.ico" |

Reverend,
I mentioned the problem with the path to "resource.h" to show that I ran into 2 problems with the 10-2 rc file. 1) with the path included, the resource.h file stopped being processed at line 638, and never made it to the "real" rc file code. 2)without the proper path, the "real" rc file code was not converted properly. I'm attaching the rsrc.rc file I used, from the Iczelion tutorial. The resource.h file was the one that comes standard with MASM32. (Using win xp sp2) Thanks again, farrier

Nice work! Congratulations!
This utility will make a perfect combination: FASMW+ResEd+RC_CONVERTER 
Here are my results: This one: Code: #define IDD_DLG1 1000 #define IDC_BTN1 1001 IDD_DLG1 DIALOGEX 6,6,194,106 CAPTION "Window" FONT 8,"MS Sans Serif" STYLE 0x10CF0000 EXSTYLE 0x00000000 BEGIN CONTROL "Exit",IDC_BTN1,"Button",0x50010000,130,80,54,16,0x00000000 END gives me this: Code: IDD_DLG1 equ 1000 IDC_BTN1 equ 1001 directory And this one: Code: #define IDD_DLG1 1000 #define IDC_BTN1 1001 IDD_DLG1 DIALOG 6,6,194,106 CAPTION "Window" STYLE 0x10CF0000 BEGIN CONTROL "Exit",IDC_BTN1,"Button",0x50010000,130,80,54,16,0x00000000 END gives me this: Code: IDD_DLG1 equ 1000 IDC_BTN1 equ 1001 directory RT_DIALOG, dir_dialogs resource dir_dialogs,\ IDD_DLG1, LANG_ENGLISH + SUBLANG_DEFAULT, res_dialog0 dialog res_dialog0, "Window", 6, 6, 194, 106, 0x10CF0000, 0, 0 dialogitem "Button", "Exit", IDC_BTN1, 130, 80, 54, 16, 0x50010000, 0x00000000 enddialog I tested the output above and it compiles and execute without problems. I think I'll starting using it by now!
I think it is on the right path. But it still needs some work to make it work with every output from RC Editor. Nice tool! Thanks |
