Resource Builder

If you're looking for a simple, powerful, and fast resource file builder, look no further than Resource Builder. With this software, you can easily create, edit, compile and merge RC scripts to build new resource files (.res) quickly. One of the standout features of Resource Builder is its full support for Unicode resource files and data, which is highly rare among resource builders.

Import resources from existing WIN32 executables and 32-bit/16-bit resource files (RES, DCR) and extract, update, and modify any resources in 32-bit executables (EXE files) and libraries (DLL and other files). Resource Builder even allows you to edit images and create dialog windows with Visual Dialog Builder.

Moreover, Resource Builder supports JPEGs and can perform graphics conversion to and from BMP, CUR and ICO files. It enables you to adjust image sizes and quality to get the results you want. The program supports DFM (Delphi forms) too, so you can view and edit Delphi's and C++Builder's forms in simple text format, which is highly valuable, and it also comes with its own text editor supporting syntax highlighting and search-and-replace functions.

Resource Builder is also highly equipped, coming with editors for bitmap, icons, cursors, string table, menu, accelerators, dialogs, and version info. Another benefit is the software's HTML and XML support, making it a natural choice for any project that might involve web integration.

Finally, Resource Builder allows you to update resources in existing executable modules and can be compiled with either the console or command line, which is great if you need to process files in bulk. Conveniently, files can be added by dragging and dropping or with the Windows clipboard. Plus, Resource Builder includes configurable multilanguage user interface, making it easy to add support for your own language. Overall, Resource Builder is a fantastic and highly capable resource file builder that is worth considering.
