  Back in Studio 6 and Studio2003, when you would edit a dialog resource that had multiple language versions, the window title (Studio 6) or the tab title (Studio 2003) would tell you something like "IDD_DIALOG1 - Italian". This was very helpful if you had several language versions of the same dialog open at the same time. Studio 2005 now labels the tabs as "MyApp.rc - IDD_DIALOG1". This makes it much harder to be sure yo ...Show All
