Dear Claudio,

Probably you may help us in this. I have got good results with windres script but when I try to write any string with local accents (portuguese: çÇãÃôÔáÁéÉíÍóÓúÚ) and also this "©" UNICODE character it seems .rc file must be in ANSI because as following display:

Searching the internet, I found windres.h special file for UNICODE.

Screen4.PNG (10.22 KiB) Viewed 5093 times

So, this our WindRes.exe is it in UNICODE or in ANSI mode ? Shall it be differentiated according it compiling mode ? Because, our rc file is been written in UTF-8 without BOM and probably this must kept in ANSI mode or shall be the right WindRes for UNICODE/ANSI. What do you think my friend ?

FYI, I setted to portuguese for langID code and I also tried for UNICODE for charsetID but not successful.

Even following:

For further details (language.. etc), please read these:

WindRes for MinGW

Hi Pablo
You're Always right. It works perefctly.
If you use the ".RC" file, you cannot use anymore the "-icon=iconfile.ico" option but you need to include the icon resource inside the resource (.rc) file.
Thank you very much to share your knowledge.

My .rc file looks like this. And icon is working nice.

Code: Select all

FIND2		BITMAP		FILESRES\FIND2.BMP
left  BITMAP  left.bmp
right BITMAP right.bmp
icai  JPG icai.jpg
icailogo JPG icailogo.jpg
balance ICON balance.ico

Fantastic !

It's strange, but when I change translation from U.S. British to Polish:
before:

Code: Select all

BLOCK "VarFileInfo"
  BEGIN
    VALUE "Translation", 0x809, 1252
  END

after:

Code: Select all

 BLOCK "VarFileInfo"
  BEGIN
    VALUE "Translation", 0x415, 1250
  END

some properties like LegalCopyright, ProductName are missing in .exe file properties.

Me alegro mucho Javier.

Thank you very much to share your knowledge.

You raised an important outstanding point. This is a good chance to have this as a reference.

Hi Marek,

When you need to change the language, you need to change in two places: the langID and charsetID because if anything doesn't match then will not work properly.

I have found trouble with UNICODE characters, so I do not know if going to work properlly the values when any language accent be typed.

Another question if to know if is going to work in 64 bit also... anyone have already tested
