Resouce Problem

[CodeJerk]

I was writing my first windows program (as a WIN32 Console Application) , trying out this tutorial http://sunlightd.virtualave.net/Wind...logBoxes.html;. It says that I include a Resource file as a .h file. Could someone please tell me how the resouce editor in Visual C++ 6.0 works ?? Or a suitable tutorial to it.
Anyway, I used a Resource file generated via the MFC Application Wizard, but that doesn't seem to work. Do I need to include a Resouce template (.rct) or .h or .rc file ???

I used a .rc file, and with the following code,

#include <windows.h>
#include "d:\Rscript.rc"

bool MainDialogProc (HWND hWnd, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
	return false;
}

int main()
{
	DialogBoxParam (GetModuleHandle(NULL),MAKEINTRESOURCE (IDD_DIALOG1),NULL,(DLGPROC) MainDialogProc,0);
	return (0);
}

I get the following errors.

Compiling...
Winmain.cpp
d:\rscript.rc(20) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'constant'
d:\rscript.rc(20) : error C2501: 'LANGUAGE' : missing storage-class or type specifiers
d:\rscript.rc(20) : fatal error C1004: unexpected end of file found
Error executing cl.exe.

Trying.exe - 3 error(s), 0 warning(s)


What's this error, and how do I fix this ?
Thanks, in advance.

You don't do it that way. The resource file, (.rc) should exist in the same directory as your other source files. Then go to Project-> Add to Project -> Files and select the .rc file. The header should be included in the source as you have done.

I'll just say, I have never added a resource file created by the MFC app wizard before, you may get other problems if the resource file/header is assuming you are using MFC and the other souirce is not.
