Dev C++ Problem

[kas2002]

I am trying to create a Win32 program in dev c++ and for some reason when I create a resource file it doesn't create a header. They guy in the tutorial says that it is supposed to. Also he says to choose win32 as my project bu there is no win32 option when i create a new project

By this I hope you mean console.....if not, then you will have to do more than that to make it work. Also, Win32 means Windows. The 32 means 32-bit, but not of much importance right now.

in Dev-C++ you have to make your own resource headers. The only thing for resources Dev-C++ does is include a cheap visual editor.

edit the resource file isn't it supposed to create a header. If not then how would I go about doing that. Would anyone recommend that I get VC++.

Like I said before, I hope you mean win32 console. Console programs do not use resource files. Only Windows Apps use them.

I would, VC++ has many, many nifty little features that come in handy......

However, you can use a third party resource editor like Resource Tuner , but it's not free..... anyone know of a free, and quality resource editor?

look dude, it's not hard to make a resource header

here is a simple one:

///////////////////////////////////////////////
// Resource.h
///////////////////////////////////////////////

#define MENU 1000

then in your resource file include resource.h
