I am reverse engineering using resource hacker. I found the program i am reversing  has dialog box item.

That is the "raw resource source code" for a dialog with a title "Comodo Client - Security" which has three controls.

The dialog would be compiled from a resource script file (*.rc) to a resource file (*.res) and linked into the exe. The res file is equivalent of and obj file.

The resource compiler (rc.exe) found in visual studio packages (and others sources) is what compiles the resource script.

Visual studio has a builtin resource editor to be able to create dialogs with controls on them.

There are other resource editors available that does the same, some with more features or easier to use

A quick search for resource editors shows: http://www.resedit.net/ or a stand alone version of the resource editor built into RadASM IDE: https://www.softpedia.com/get/Programming/File-Editors/KetilO-Resource-Editor.shtml
