[kzmi@ca2.so-net.ne.jp: Re: windres cant make a child window resource ?]

[Ian Lance Taylor <ian at zembu dot com>]

Hi, I'm the GNU binutils maintainer.  Can anybody on the cygwin list
confirm or deny this bug report about windres?  Making the suggested
change would not be backward compatible, which concerns me.

Thank you. It works well for create a WS_CHILD dialog.

In VC++6, usually I'm using, IDE creates a simple STYLE line like this:

STYLE WS_CHILD

and RC creates a dialog resource which have only WS_CHILD style.
I don't know about old version. but I think default style should be
enabled only if STYLE line was omitted.
