This macro will take a selection and renumber the resource ID's in sequential order. This comes in very handy when trying to avoid resource conflicts as well as when trying to merge items from one resouce file into another.

' This will assisgn resource ID's to the selected block by starting
' with the resource ID given and then incrementing until the end of
' the selection is reaced.
' (Uncomment the commented lines to process only sourcecode files)

Sub AssignResourceIDToSelection ()

     msg = InputBox ("Enter The resource ID to start From:")

'    TypeOfFile = FileType(ActiveDocument)

'    if TypeOfFile <> dsCPP   Then
'         MsgBox "File Must be of type .c, .cpp, .cxx, .h, .hpp, .hxx"
'    Else
          If msg <> "" Then
               If IsNumeric(msg) Then
                    nCurResourceID = Int(msg)
                    AssignGivenResourceIDToSelection(nCurResourceID)
               End If
          Else
               MsgBox "You MUST enter a resource ID, Aborting"
          End If
'    End if
End Sub


'This function can be integrated with other macros to
'automate the renumbering of resource ID's

Function AssignGivenResourceIDToSelection (ByVal nCurResourceID)

     nStartLine = ActiveDocument.Selection.TopLine
     nEndLine = ActiveDocument.Selection.BottomLine

     ' Debugging messageBox

          ActiveDocument.Selection.FindText "#define", dsMatchForward
