[kv79]

I have this problem with my ( .rc) file i do not know why

#include "digitron_h.h"




MENU_ID MENU 
BEGIN      
POPUP  "&File"
                        {
                        MENUITEM  "E&xit", EXIT_ID
                        }
         
    
POPUP  "&Help"
                        {
                        MENUITEM  "H&elp About", HELP_ID
                        }
END

ID_DIALOGEX DIALOG 0, 0, 98, 52
STYLE  DS_MODALFRAME | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION
CAPTION "calc"
FONT 8, "MS Sans Serif"
{
}

When i delete row with STYLE the program working .
Thank you for your effort of reading.

Have you seen this tutorial? You should use the BEGIN and END tags, not the braces you posted.

[kv79]

Yes i sow that and have no difference.
I used that({ }) in my last program .
But anyway that does not slow my problem.

What exactly is the problem you are having. Won't it compile? If not what errors do you get ? And what compiler are you using?

[kv79]

I am using Dev-C++ with gcc and g++ .

i got this message
22 C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Desktop\New Folder\digitron_rc.rc [Resource error] syntax error
That is on the style selected.

when i delete style then program working .
Here is te ( digitron_c.c)

The program is not finished so i just copy this
digitron_h.h

#define  MENU_ID  11
#define  EXIT_ID  12
#define  HELP_ID  13

#define  ID_1      1
#define  ID_2      2  
#define  ID_3      3
#define  ID_4      4
#define  ID_5      5
#define  ID_6      6
#define  ID_7      7
#define  ID_8      8
#define  ID_9      9
#define  ID_0      0

#define ID_EDITTEXT   14
#define ID_DIALOGEX   15

And the ( .rc) file is up there.

You might get better help from here. I can replicate the problem but not sure why it occurs.

>I am using Dev-C++ with gcc and g++.

You need to #include <windows.h> in your resource script (digitron_rc.rc) to ensure that all resource definition statements are defined for the resource compiler.

[Ancient Dragon]

>You need to #include <windows.h> in your resource script (digitron_rc.rc).

Nope. Didn't fix the problem. I copy/paste the dialog box rc stuff from the tutorial and it doesn't compile either.

[Comrade Ogilvy]

>Didn't fix the problem

Strange, it should - for good measure I tried it with the code(resource script) supplied in this thread, amended as I described, and it compiles, error free with:

windres -O COFF digitron_h.rc -o digitron_h.res
