Resource Hacker ™ is editor resources for Windows 32 and 64bit applications. It is a resource compiler (resource compiler for *.rc files), but also a decoder – allowing projection and processing resources into executables (*.exe, *.dll, *.scr etc.)
It can also compile in resource libraries (* .res, * .mui).
Although the application Resource Hacker is primarily a GUI application, it also provides many options for collecting and extracting resources from the command line.
Compile
The compile can be started either by opening an existing resource script file, or by creating one from scratch using the Resource Hacker editor.
A complete list of Resource-Definition Statements you can find here.
View and edit resources:
Once a resource file is opened, the resources are generally displayed as an image (or group of images) or decomposed text. The binary resources, usually images, can not be edited directly with Resource Hacker, but can be exported and imported very easily once modified by an external image editor.
