Copying and Pasting Resource Definitions Items

The Resource Editor lets you copy and paste either from the Resource File Editor's Edit menu or by right-clicking an item.

You can copy and paste all items in a resource definition file. When you paste an item, you can choose to paste it with the same name as the original file, or you can paste it with a new name.

Tip:

Where allowed, you can allocate a hexadecimal name to a pasted item.

To copy an item, right-click it and choose Copy.
To copy multiple items, hold down the Control key and select each, then right-click and choose Copy.

To paste items, access the target area, right click and choose Paste. The Paste items dialog box appears. You can use this dialog box to edit the items to be pasted.

When pasting items:

Use the check boxes to select and clear items to be pasted.
Select an item's name to edit it.
To enter a name in hexadecimal format, prefix the hexadecimal number with 0X. For example, the name 0XFD allocates the hexadecimal number FD as the item name.
The OK button is not enabled until you resolve all conflicts shown in the dialog box.
