Well, I never used XPM files and have no idea why I could have to use them....

As for the resources... You've posted to the forum:
Visual C++ Programming Ask questions about Windows programming with Visual C++ and help others by answering their questions.
so I presume you are using some of the Microsoft IDE (such as VC++6.0, VS2003, VS2005, VS2008, VS2010) to create your applications. Doesn't the IDE you are currently using have a resourced editor?
