- Modifying Resources: Resources can be modified by replacing the resource with a resource located in another file (*.ico, *.bmp, *.res etc) or by using the internal resource script compiler (for menus, dialogs etc). Dialog controls can also be visually moved and/or resized by clicking and dragging the respective dialog controls prior to recompiling with the internal compiler.
- Adding Resources: Resources can be added to an application by copying them from external resource files (*.res).
- Deleting Resources: Most compilers add resources into applications which are never used by the application. Removing unused resources can reduce an applications size.
