I'm pretty new at this. I got resource hacker and i've been modifying AOL Instant Messenger for a few days. I'm not sure if I'm asking the right question, but i want to know what language AIM is written in, or how it's put together basically. I see all the components of it, the dialog, menu, all that, but i don't get what says "do this when such an such button is pressed" i'm trying to figure it out
for example:
109 DIALOG 10, 10, 162, 215
STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU
CAPTION "Add Buddies"
LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US
FONT 8, "MS Sans Serif"
{
CONTROL "", 227, COMBOBOX, CBS_DROPDOWNLIST | CBS_AUTOHSCROLL | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_BORDER | WS_VSCROLL | WS_TABSTOP, 68, 31, 76, 80
CONTROL "", 498, LISTBOX, LBS_NOTIFY | LBS_NOINTEGRALHEIGHT | LBS_DISABLENOSCROLL | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_BORDER | WS_VSCROLL | WS_HSCROLL | WS_TABSTOP, 8, 59, 145, 95
CONTROL "&OK", 1, BUTTON, BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_TABSTOP, 11, 194, 36, 14
CONTROL "&Cancel", 2, BUTTON, BS_PUSHBUTTON | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_TABSTOP, 56, 194, 41, 14
CONTROL "New Group...", 551, BUTTON, BS_PUSHBUTTON | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_TABSTOP, 103, 194, 50, 14
CONTROL "Please choose which group to add the Screen Name(s) into:", -1, STATIC, SS_LEFT | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_GROUP, 33, 7, 116, 21
CONTROL 128, -1, STATIC, SS_ICON | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE, 6, 7, 20, 20
CONTROL "Group name:", -1, STATIC, SS_RIGHT | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_GROUP, 9, 34, 54, 9
CONTROL "Screen Name(s) to add:", -1, STATIC, SS_LEFT | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_GROUP, 7, 50, 80, 9
CONTROL "To add/change an alias for an ICQ or Mobile buddy, select the buddy in Buddy List Setup and click the buddy.", -1, STATIC, SS_LEFT | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_GROUP, 11, 164, 145, 24
}
is says the properties of everyhting, except for things like a button, it doesn't say what it does when you hit it
ex:
CONTROL "&OK", 1, BUTTON, BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_TABSTOP, 11, 194, 36, 14
...okay, so it says the ok button's coordinates, and it's properties, but it doesn't say what it does when you press it
somone fill me in please
