It looks like compiler can't concatenate strings in resource file: for example:

STRINGTABLE 
BEGIN 
CTEXT "App Name: " "Notepad Super" " Viewer "

I want "App Name: " and " Viewer " to be constant literals. And main name "Notepad" to be macro define. Compiler can't do it for rc file so I want to use preprocessor:

#define NAME_RC Notepad Super
CTEXT BOOST_PP_STRINGIZE(BOOST_PP_CAT(App Name: , BOOST_PP_CAT(NAME_RC, Viewer)))

And this way I obtain: App Name:Notepad SuperViewer

However macro takes only tokens and trims all leading or trailing whitespaces. How can i fix it? I want to have: App Name: Notepad Super Viewer

Best regards
