Visual C++ - How to use resx with dot in name: texts.en-US.resx

TLDR

texts_en-US.resx --> texts_en-US.resources   <- included in dll
texts.en-US.resx --> texts.en-US.resources   <- not included in dll

I have an embedded resx called texts.en-US.resx in my C++ project. On build this file is correctly compiled to texts.en-US.resources, but it is not included in the dll. If I name it texts_en-US.resx it is correctly included. How do I include texts.en-US.resources (with a dot in the filename) in the dll?

Further info
I want to use the ResXResourceManager that needs this dotted filenames to show all languages in one row. Or is it possible to configure it to recognize underscores like texts_en-US.resx? I couldn't find it.

Thanks.

Solution

  • My solution is to adjust the ResXResourceManager to recognize also files like texts_en-US.resx: ResXResourceManager with RegEx_based_file_detection
