title: Removing QAT resources from a MFC Dialog project?
body: <p>I am been trying to resolve this issue for a while and may have stumbled over the solution. But I wanted to run it past you for confirmation if I may.</p>
  
  <h2>Background</h2>
  
  <p>I have a <code>Dialog</code> based application and I moved from VS2015 to VS2017 RC. My application supports several language translations using <strong>appTranslator</strong>. I noticed that the QAT (I think that is right, Quick Access Toolbar) resources suddenly appears in appTranslator. So they were now part of my application resources. Even though I am not using a QAC in my dialog application.</p>
  
  <h2>Resource Includes</h2>
  
  <p>I then stumbled over this in VS2017 RC in the resource editor:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/MPXsD.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/MPXsD.png" alt="Resource Includes"></a></p>
  
  <p>I noticed this bit in there:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#define _AFX_NO_SPLITTER_RESOURCES
  #define _AFX_NO_OLE_RESOURCES
  #define _AFX_NO_TRACKER_RESOURCES
  #define _AFX_NO_PROPERTY_RESOURCES
  
  #if !defined(AFX_RESOURCE_DLL) || defined(AFX_TARG_ENG)
  LANGUAGE 9, 1
  #include "res\MeetingScheduleAssistant.rc2"  // non-Microsoft Visual C++ edited resources
  #include "afxres.rc"      // Standard components
  #if !defined(_AFXDLL)
  #include "afxribbon.rc"   // MFC ribbon and control bar resources
  #endif
  #endif
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I don't want to blindly make changes to my application, which is why I am asking first. But I saw the latter MFC ribbon and control bar resources and wondered if this was the culprit and / or if it can be removed?</p>
