Visual Studio MFC dialog application. There are duplicate IDs in resource.h

Question

I created a dialog application in Visual Studio MFC.
I copy some button and edittext from A.rc to B.rc in resource view.

B.rc ->  There are duplicate IDs in resource.h

Any good way to sort out IDs in B.rc?

Hi,

Thank you for posting here.

If these controls on different dialog boxes, there's no issue with them having the same ID - they only need to be unique for controls on the same dialog.

You could try to change the symbol value: In Resource View, right click your project node (usually shown as ProjectName.rc) and choose Resource Symbols. And then you could change the unassigned symbol.

I suggest you could refer to the link: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/changing-a-symbol-or-symbol-name-id?view=vs-2019
