Hi supermario - you're on the ball today!!!

I only plan to distribute either the XML or the XCB. The XCB has the benefit of being smaller.

As the app needs to grow and change rapidly, we are trying to avoid hardcoding potentially changable items. The commandbars, in the short-term will ceertainly change as we add new modules.

Perhaps i'll save the xml string in the central database

If you use the XML file and serialize the images there is no need forthe XCB file.  It is redundant to include both of them when youcan just have the XML file.  You might be able to break the stringup into smaller string and reassemle them, or maybe just hard code itinto the app once right before your release.]]> Thu, 24 Feb 2005 15:22:02 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1853&PID=5378&title=storing-xml-xcb-files-in-resource-files#5378 <![CDATA[Storing XML/XCB files in Resource FIles? : I&#039;m trying to limit the number...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1853&PID=5376&title=storing-xml-xcb-files-in-resource-files#5376 Author: ianp

I'm trying to limit the number of files distributed with my app, and already have resource file which stored most of the strings used by the app which are implementation specific.

Since the commandbars require an XML/XCB file whose configuration varies with each implementation, I am trying to save the XML string to the resource file, however...

My XML file is now 120kb and the XCB file is 60kb. When I tried pasting the XML file into a VB6 resource string, it gets truncated. Does anyone know if this is a VB limit, or would another resource editor be able to handle the large file? If so can you name a good, preferably cheap, resource editor?

Alternatively, can the XCB file be stored in the resource file? If so, is there a good way to do so?
