Unicode in Resource files

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008 | Delphi 2009, Delphi Programming

Ever tried to put a unicode string (Delphi 2009) in a resource (.rc) file and tried to compile it with brcc32 or rc32?

You’ll get this error:  Expecting resource name or resource type name

The Solution is very simple (though it kept me searching some hours :-) :

Use

cgrc.exe

(CodeGear Resource Compiler/Binder) instead!

Hi,

I’ve got the exact same error message from using brcc32. Obviously, I want to see if your suggestion works for me too, but googling ‘cgrc’ and related doesn’t lead me to any sites allowing for me to download cgrc.exe. Is it part of some Embarcadero commercial product?
Any ideas how I could get hold of ccgc.exe?
Thanks in advance!!!

cheers,
Esben

cgrc is part of delphi/radstudio (2009/2010/XE2)

e.g. Delphi 2010:
C:\Program Files\Embarcadero\RAD Studio\7.0\bin\cgrc.exe
