That is right. Bellow is a short extract from the documentation (page 256 of tkuse.pdf for Creo 2.0 M120):

Note that message files are loaded into Creo Parametric only once during a session, during the first call to ProMessageDisplay(). Consequently, if you make a 
change to the message file while Creo Parametric is running, you must exit and restart Creo Parametric to have the changes take effect.

I think the same is true for resource files.

However, to test the layout and appearance of the dialog boxes generated with resource files you can use the prodialog_view utility.

From a command prompt run:

<creo_loadpoint>\Parametric\bin\prodialog_view.bat <full_path_to_resouce_file>

First you need to add the following line to your "protk.dat" file:

allow_stop                    TRUE

Next, from Creo interface access "Auxiliary Application" command.

You can do this from Home tab / Utilities oweflow / Auxiliary Applications (for an empty session)

or from Tools / Auxiliary Application in all other modes

On "Auxiliary Application" window select your program and then use the Start and Stop buttons.

For more information's about the registry file and all possible options read the "Creo Parametric TOOLKIT Registry File" Apendix on the toolkit user guide. For Creo 2 this is appendix D at page 1823

    Hi Gabrial thanks for your valuable reply, I had tried the steps but it does not work for me.

         In some case if I updated my resource file or Message file from source it not working in same session, only after restarting creo takes effect.

    With Best Regards
