Thread: Help with Pretzold's tutorial

Im currently at Chapter 10 Menus and Other Resources and having trouble compiling the examples.

To add a resource and header file it says:

"You do this by adding a resource script to the project. Select New from the File menu, select the Files tab, click Resource Script, and type ICONDEMO in the File Name field. Click OK. At this time, Developer Studio creates two new text files: ICONDEMO.RC, the resource script, and RESOURCE.H, a header file that will allow the C source code file and the resource script to refer to the same defined identifiers."

Neither MSVC++6 nor MSVC2008 won't create me RESOURCE.H header file. What am i doing wrong?

Thanks for any input!

Yeah i could do that thanks, but that would be the easy way.

I wanna learn to create a program like one should.
Otherwise how will i write my own programs later?

I did. I copied the code using notepad, but Im getting a lot of undeclared identifier errors.

"I think PETZOLD might be somewhat upset when you refer to him as a "pretzel" ;-)"

lol sorry 'bout that, unfortunately i cant edit the title anymore, maybe an admin would be so kind
to do so.

Ok i managed to compile with VS 2008.
I had to change #include "afxres.h" to #include <winresrc.h>.
