CGRC.EXE, the Resource Compiler-Binder

Go Up to Command Line Utilities Index

CGRC.EXE is the compiler-binder that is called by the IDE when you have selected to use the Windows SDK Resource Compiler on the Project > Options > Resource Compiler dialog box. You do not typically need to run CGRC.EXE directly.

When the IDE invokes RC.EXE, it passes the command syntax of BRCC32.EXE (using hyphens) to CGRC.EXE. Then CGRC.EXE converts the command into the syntax of RC.EXE (using slashes) and invokes RC.EXE.
