Wow, I'd forgotten about the component gallery. If it is still there it's

I'm trying to figure out a way to separate a dialog's code (header,
implementation and resources) from the main app so that it is easy to
copy
into other projects (making my own Common Control so to speak).

Hi,
Thanks for the replies guys. The thing is that it is not a resource ID
that is
being duplicated, it is the resource TYPE. That is, while you can put a
dialog's
own resource in a second RC file, apparently you cannot put an icon in a
second
RC file because the compiler in VS2003 (and earlier) tries to create a
separate
icon group for each, and runs into problems (plus there is more
complication
about which icon appears in the resource script first).
What ever happened to that component gallery from VS6? That's gone right?
I
never actually used it, but it sounds like exactly what I want: a way to
create
a control or dialog (that require resources) and package it so that I can
*easily* use it in multiple apps without resorting to DLLs (compile it
directly
into the app).
