I'm following a tutorial for direct x.
They say to make a new resource file and then it gives you code to add to the resource file. I could just add new tooldbars and things like that, but I'd rather do it their way. How do you edit the actual code for the resource file? Whenever I double click it in file view it just brings the resource menu up.
 
In VC++ 6.0
Go to File->Open, browse for the file, change the 'Open as' option to 'Text' and click Open.

Another way that I like to do is to search for a string that you know is in the resource file and double-click on the result in the Find in Files Output.

In VC++ .NET 2003
Go to File->Open->File..., browse for the file, click the arrown next to the Open button and select Open With... from the dropdown menu, then select Source Code (Text) Editor and click Open.
