Resources ID based on other resources ID

[pascal_33]

Hi,

Just checked this out myself, I see the same as you, i.e. expressions are not evaluated, so I looked at this note on the MSDN page you linked:

If a string or a numeric expression is expected, then the expression is not evaluated.

Since a resource ID can be either a string or a numeric expression, looks like that covers it.

yes, but there is also


The environment will correctly interpret these calculated symbols as long as:

* The calculated symbols are placed in a read-only symbols file.
* Your resource file contains resources to which these calculated symbols are already assigned.
* A numeric expression is expected.

All this does not appear very clear ....
