Maybe this item on the CarbonDev wiki would be helpful if you are
continuing with old style resources.
http://www.carbondev.com/site/?page=Interface+Builder+Images
I wrestled with this for awhile and came to conclusion that I would
be better off just using bundled images and forgetting about classic
Resources, as I noted before.
I am trying this with resources, but it fail to load the pict.
The word resources is ambiguous. It could mean the classic Resource
Manager and it's .r or .rsrc files. But also it's a generic term
for miscellaneous items, pictures, sounds, etc. needed for building
an application. I don't use the Resource Manager anymore but I still
have a "Resources" folder inside my bundle where Xcode places my
images when I build.

Yes, although you have to use narrow encodings such as Shift-JIS for
each localized variant.
These resource files need to be located in the corresponding
localized "sub-folder", have the name "Localized.rsrc", and should
have the resources stored in the data fork of the file rather than
the resource fork (I'm not sure if XCode will do this for you - you
probably have to experiment). For example, your application bundle
would look something like this where "AppName" is the name of the
executable file:
/Contents/MacOS/AppName
/Contents/Resources/AppName.rsrc <--- "common" resources
/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/Localized.rsrc
/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/MyNibFile.nib
/Contents/Resources/German.lproj/Localized.rsrc
/Contents/Resources/German.lproj/MyNibFile.nib
...

Thanks,
At least I am having some answer I could build some solution on.
I guess it is ok to have some dialogs in nib and some in RSRC files.
One more thing I need to know is; Can we localize RSRC's ?
No. If you look in the headers, you will see that GetPicture is
deprecated.
What should I use instead?

Hi Denis!
One of them is the Nib vs. RSRC thing. I choose the Nib because I
liked
the editor and it seems the
way to go in the future.
nibs are the present, not the future. :) Resource Manager (rsrc)
files
are the past, but also the present. :)
I want to place icons and image in my dialogs.
I don't see how to do that with Nib.
I bought the book learning Carbon tried the suggested way which
was to
place the image (rsrc) in the
project.
It didn't work. Is there another way?
Besides what about icons?
I've never used nibs in Carbon, only Cocoa, and they are not the
same,
so I don't have an answer.
What year is your book from? I suspect it is old.
I think it was XCode pre- 1.0 I don't have it here at work.
Another question that popped in my mind.
Does functions like "GetPicture (cPictureResID);" works with Nib?
No. If you look in the headers, you will see that GetPicture is
deprecated.
Can I have Nibs and RSRC together in the same project?
Yes.
Would ID conflict ?
No.
