Thread: Problems with resource files

I got the error when I tried compiling through VIDE. I got the same error before when I was compiling with just the command line. With your exact code in fact.

Here's what I've got. I only have two files. I am not using your header file (.h).

example1.cpp
d1.rc

First I use brc32 to compile the resource: brc32 d1.rc
Second, I run the following batch file z.bat by typing z at the command prompt:

bcc32 -c -W example1.cpp
ilink32/Tpe c0w32 example1.obj,example1.exe,,cw32.lib import32.lib,,d1.res

Code:

//Here is my example1.cpp:
#include <windows.h> 
#include <tchar.h> 

BOOL CALLBACK MainDialogProc(HWND hDlg, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam);

int WINAPI WinMain( HINSTANCE hInstance,HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,LPSTR lpszCmdLine,int nCmdShow ) { 

   DialogBoxParam(hInstance, "DIALOG1", NULL, (DLGPROC)MainDialogProc, 0);
   return 0;
}

BOOL CALLBACK MainDialogProc(HWND hDlg, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
   switch( uMsg ) {
      case WM_INITDIALOG:
         return TRUE;
      case WM_COMMAND:
         switch( wParam ) {
            //case IDOK:
            //   EndDialog( hDlg, TRUE );
            //   return TRUE;
            case 106:
               EndDialog( hDlg, TRUE );
               return TRUE;
            case 107:
               EndDialog( hDlg, TRUE );
               return TRUE;
            case IDCANCEL:
               EndDialog( hDlg, TRUE );
               return TRUE;
         }
      break;
   }

   return FALSE;
}

My d1.rc is the same as yours.
Mine compiles and links to an .exe. When I run, a dialog box appears with two buttons. If it still doesn't work, try compiling a simple c++ program with a main(), and see if you can compile it.

I still get the error in CW32.lib.

Well, I think something's wrong with my version of cw32.lib. I tried cw32mt.lib and it worked just fine and I got the desired response. Thanks for your help. I'll get the cw32 file from somebody who has a different version. My guess is that in some windows corruption a couple bits got switched or something, I've had it happen in other places.
