    What's wrong with this resource file?

    I'm trying to compile this application using Dev-C++ and the compiler coughs up when it tries to compile the resource file, saying there's a "parse error." The thing is that i can't find anything wrong with it:
    Code:
    #include "resource.h"
    #include <windows.h>
    
    IDI_ICON1               ICON    DISCARDABLE     "LEECH.ICO"
    
    
    IDD_DIALOG1 DIALOG DISCARDABLE  0, 0, 167, 59
    STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | DS_CENTER | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU
    CAPTION "Resolution Selection"
    FONT 8, "Arial"
    BEGIN
        DEFPUSHBUTTON   "OK",IDOK,103,15,50,14,BS_FLAT
        PUSHBUTTON      "Cancel",IDCANCEL,103,33,50,14,BS_FLAT
        LTEXT           "Please select a resolution:",IDC_STATIC,6,5,84,9
        CONTROL         "640 x 480",IDC_640,"Button",BS_AUTORADIOBUTTON | 
                        BS_FLAT,18,17,61,11
        CONTROL         "800 x 600",IDC_800,"Button",BS_AUTORADIOBUTTON | 
                        BS_FLAT,18,30,61,11
        CONTROL         "1024 x 768",IDC_1024,"Button",BS_AUTORADIOBUTTON | 
                        BS_FLAT,18,43,61,11
    END
    Any ideas?

    edit: forgot to mention, the compiler says the error is on line 14 (LTEXT)...

    #define IDC_STATIC -1

    I've had the same problem. Define IDC_STATIC. It has to be a constant integer that equals to -1(because you never actually use it).
