Dialogex problem in restorator 2006

Restorator 2006 incorrectly saves font styles in DIALOGEX resources. (itallic parameter) . After saving (and reopening) - all signs in dialog becomes itallic.
I see one way to correct it at the moment - return to the restorator 2005 (it works ok ).

Hi Mikhail,

thanks for reporting this problem, it looks like a rather serious bug. I'll check it out.

I could reproduce this bug. It only happens when editing the RC text of the dialog. The graphical dialog editor works as before.

I'm working on a fix and I'll let you know here when an update is available.

Thanks,
Florian

Hi Florian,
When porting the translation from one app. release to another i need to convert the resources to rc and back ( to see is there any differences in resources between releases).
By the way, could you add a resource comparison feature?
I think it is possible to improove the patcher algorithm to fscan and report the resource differences between two executables.
It would be a very useful feature.

Regards
Mikhail

I'm working on a translation software with built-in comparison and auto-translation of resources. That would probably solve your needs...

We've posted an Update Patch for Restorator 2006 which fixes this bug. Please download it from http://www.bome.com/Restorator/update.html .

Please report if that fixes the issue.
Thanks,

Not the same problem but similar. When I checked Restorator a few months back it was completely stripping font charset information from DIALOGEX definition. If original resource used something like this:
FONT 10, "Special Font", 0, FALSE, EASTEUROPE_CHARSET
Restorator removed the last parameter completely making the whole definition unusable (as default charset is ANSI). Was it fixed in 2006 edition?

Hi Mok,

indeed, Restorator still removes this flag. We weren't aware that you could add a charset setting to the FONT line. This should be added in the next version of Restorator. Please subscribe to the announcement list of Restorator to receive an update email when the feature is ready.

Florian
