You can't do that in resources, apart from simple dialogs. Many controls
are created directly in the code, so you need to change the source.
Whether this is to set the process-wide layout or to set WS_EX_LAYOUTRTL
individually on appropriate windows will depend on the app, but it needs
code changes either way.
