Well, reading this tutorial, I'm trying to create a dialog.
The dialog code in resource
main.cppCode:// About dialog
IDD_ABOUT DIALOG DISCARDABLE 0, 0, 150, 100
STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU
CAPTION "About"
FONT 8, "MS Sans Serif"
{
DEFPUSHBUTTON "&Ok", IDOK, 90, 75, 50, 14
CTEXT "Just a test program to practice Windows programming in C++\r\nMade by Lucas van Dijk.", IDC_STATIC, 7, 7, 134, 80
}
But then, when I try to compile it with Dev-C++ (latest version) I get the following error:Code:#include <windows.h>

But I don't see any mistakes?Code:CTEXT "Just a test program to practice Windows programming in C++\r\nMade by Lucas van Dijk.", IDC_STATIC, 7, 7, 134, 80
What's the problem?
