I noticed that some of the property names in a resx file generated by
WinRes.exe are prefaced with the escape sequence for ">>" (i.e. ">>"). I see
this on 'Name', 'Type', 'Parent' and 'ZOrder'. It seems these may be
read-only fields but I cannot find anything that solidifies this for me so I
can code for it in the read process on a stand-alone file basis. Can you
advise?

Hi Brad, Yes, they are read only properties that represent the control.
You can find a detailed explanation of what these special properties are at
