Import Resource Script
Enterprise Architect supports the import and export of Microsoft Windows Resource Scripts (as .rc files), which contain the Win32® dialog definitions (those with the stereotype «win32Dialog») for an application's graphical user interface. Dialog resources are imported and exported for a specific language, defaulting to the locale of the current computer system.
