c++ – Visual Studio 2010 Resource Editor Dialogs in Quotes

OK I figured it out. I thought I was sure I had added the IDD_ defines in the resource.h file, but it appears I didn’t. I did add the new control IDCs, but forgot the IDDs.

For some reason Visual Studio loaded the resource file and accepted it even though the IDDs were not defined. VS has always been a stickler for getting every little detail right or it wouldn’t load flagging errors. This is the first time I’ve hand edited a resource file, loaded it with errors and it loaded.

Strange behavior, but it shows correctly now. I’m posting the solution in case anyone runs into this in the future.
