Hello gurj,
Resources have to be associed with the rc file(s) at compilation.
I don't really understand.
What's the problem with PB windows and Resourcehacker ?

[gurj]

Sorry, I haven't used res or RC...

PureBasic exes can't be hacked with resource editors. I learned this a long time ago. It's a great security feature, IMO.

They should be, they are regular win32 apps..

PB created EXEs don't use resources, under Win32 it creates forms on the fly with Windows APIs, hence it's not easy to modify the window created with PB unless you know how to edit Win32/64 PE or have the source file.

[EDIT]
Compiled Win32/64 PB EXEs contains resource with the program icon, version info etc, but not with menu/forms/dialogs.

Well don't change anything... I like the fact that resource editors fail with my PureBasic exes.

Yes, PB doesn't uses resources for anything except icon and version. But if you use the API, you can add resources and edit them.
