Project1: rc file and resource.h
Project2: rc2 file and resource2.h

My main project is Project1, I had to use Project2's resource in Project1,
that means, I use rc,rc2,resource.h,resource2.h in Project1.
(Project2's UI is very complex, if I redo it in Proect1, it's waste time)

How do I do this? Thanks!

Try it :) :

C++

// *2.rc
#include "./resource.h"
//...

// *1.rc
#include "../prj2/*2.rc"
#include "./resource.h"
//..

However, you can get a painful mixture of the resorce IDs from the both headers...

If your job is not planned for a "day-testing" only
it could be better to think about the "one-header" or even "one-DLL" resorces' sharing :)
