GSDH and API10

Oleg — Mon, 07 Aug 2023 09:09:09 GMT

Just tried the API for AC10 and I was extremely surprised, that it seems the GRC compiler now does not compile 'GSDH' resource.
If I have correctly understood, instead of it was introduced 'DLGH'. I do not understand why it was impossible to keep 'GSDH' for compatibility.
It is now a lot of work and difficulties, especially at localization
May be I have missing something.

Well, then may be somebody knows any trick, how now possible to have single grc file compatible for 9 and 10 API ?
May be GRC compiler has some preprocessing features something like "if/endif" or like "define" ?
Or may be somebody know - will resources compiled by old GRC compiler from API 6.1 compatible with new DG module of API 10 ?

Yes, GRC allows #defines like this for example:

 
#if defined (DOPALETTE) 
'GDLG'  32500  Palette | noCaption  0   0  300  200  "About"  { 
#else 
'GDLG'  32500  Modal | noCaption  0   0  300  200  "About"  { 
#endif

Of course you need to supply the defines to ResConv like this:

-d DOPALETTE

Nope, the two resource files are completely incompatible. Sorry.

Thank for the answer and the help. I tried #if, but I have not guessed to define it in the command line of ResConv.
It is not a perfect solution for the 'GSDH', but anyway mach better than nothing.
Thank again.
