This expert makes available the BRCC32 resource script compiler from within the Delphi IDE. The Delphi Editor is used to enter the input resource scripts to make the .RC file, the compiler is run from within the IDE. The compiler can be called to make both 32 bit and 16 bit resource files, although this code has only been written for 32 bit Delphi and win32 api.

The expert adds:

1. a "New Resource" menu item to the IDE File menu
2. a "Resource File" icon to the new item dialog
3. a "Compile Resource" command, "Resource Options" dialog and a series of resource types to the IDE Project menu.

Each resource file will have its own option file as well (.ROF). Options you set can be made default and are saved to the registry.

More or less all of the BRCC32 command line features can be used by appropriate settings in the Options menu. You need a manual for BRCC32 to understand how to write .RC files and what the various BRCC32 command line options are for. The expert predeclares #defines of R16 and R32 when compiling 16 and 32 bit resources respectively. The only manual I have is for BRCC which is in the 16 bit resource workshop help file.
