I'm a long time use of msvc (since v2.0) but the resource editor in version
7.0 has me stumped.
All I'm trying to do is edit the text in a button but I can't find any way
of doing it. If I open up the resource editor I get a properties window but
all the entries in the drop down list say 'Selected Object' and there is
nothing in the main window. I'm having to resort to editing the .rc file by
hand and it's a bit tedious.
So is this a bug or has MS removed the functionality?

Wow! 14 minutes to get a response. Thanks!! Must be a record :-)
Anyway, certainly works ok but how do I change the rest of the properties?
Like ID, tab settings, visibility etc., numerical entry etc.? (Guess I
should have asked this before)

Easy. There is a property sheet that is usually in the bottom right hand
corner. If you can't see it then, in the resource editor, click on a button
in your dialog, then hit the F4 key. It should appear. There's even a
place for Caption there (under the Appearance section of the Properties
window)

I should also mention that someone had the same problem as you with no

I don't know what would happen to get the editor in that state, but can you
try click on the button in the properties window to the left of the
lightning bolt?

Yes I have that but it's empty. The drop down menu is just full of 'Selected
Object' (about 20 of them) and there is absolutely nothing in the main
property window. There are several toolbar buttons (Categorised, Alphabetic,
Properties, Control Events, Property pages) but these don't do anything.

Well thanks for the suggestion but it didn't make any difference. Guess I'll
just have to keep editing everything with the text editor.
Version 7.0 seems to have been one of those 'lemons'. I've had quite a few
issues with it Still can't get all the help files to install properly and
the workarounds for template problems in v6 are broken in v7 but they still
haven't put in templates properly. The rest of my group has mostly gone back
to v6 for similar reasons.

Have you tried 7.1 (VC.NET 2003) it's much more stable. Maybe even fixes
