How do you work with resource files???

How exactly do you put resource files into your programs so that they compile and run without any problems???
:)

That depends on your compiler.

ok, I have Dev-C++, and another resource editor to make it slightly eaiser to make win32 apps, both of the programs make the same resource files, and so they are compatible (I dont have a clue if that makes any difference, but I thought I would share it with you anyway)
:)

I've never used Dev-C++, but doing the following might work:

Just add the resource file to your project. Then make sure and include the resource header in your code:
#include "resource.h"

the winprog tutorial (www.winprog.org) teaches how to use resource scripts though it doesn't tell u how to compile them. I'm using MinGW and you have to use windres (e.g. "windres resource.rc -o resource.o" at the command line).

dunno if that helps.
