I am not familiar with the code so much. Can anyone look at the artist, album, and song controls and advise me what numbers could be changed to allow the text fields to allow more characters?
The last two numbers in each control definition are the width and height. So if you made the width larger, you could contain more text, but there might be problems with overlapping controls.
You would do better to make modifications in a resource editor that simulates the dialog and its controls, to make sure the placement isn't all screwed up.
Wow. I wonder who had the bright idea of co-opting the name of an old Mac OS 9 Resource Fork Editor program for a task only applicable to Windows. Talk about mis-using name recognition.
I really extend my sympathies to all the C++ developers including me, as for not having a free resource editor provided along with MS VC++ express and standard editions. What is the point in not providing it to the developers, is beyond me. Version after version, Microsoft is releasing VC++ along with other products in Visual Studio, but with out any path breaking development in it since 2005. After 1998, I believe, it was 2005 version that was a better one and following which, in 2008 and 2010 they have done nothing but improve looks and provide key bug fixes. Providing a free resource editor is one thing they could have done for sure....
Thanks,

I'd say 2010's support for C++1x has been a massive step forward. And they don't even support the entire standard yet (I'm waiting on standard threads, personally).
still gcc has more support for c++1x and it is still missing enough http://gcc.gnu.org/projects/cxx0x.html, but they did support c++1x much sooner than msvc c++ compiler did. roughly a year.
I am still waiting for more c++1x in gcc .. but the first to come in mind is:
1. Range-based for
2. non-static member initialization

Not having free software has never bothered me. I consider it my responsibility as a software professional to spend the money on any software I need to do my job. Full Visual Studio versions aren't that expensive and upgrades are even cheaper. I've always thought it worth it to spend a few dollars and stay current. Of course, that's strictly my opinion.

Like I said I am o programmer. I noticed the character limit for album, artist, and song is 30. How do I expand that to 45?
I thought the 35 and 8 numbers you spoke of truly represented the number of characters. Appreciate the help.
... I noticed the character limit for album, artist, and song is 30. How do I expand that to 45?.
You might could do that by sending the control a EM_SETLIMITTEXT message with the value 45, but that is a bad tactic, as the code that gets the text from the control will not expect more than 30 chars, so you could have a buffer overflow and crash the program.
