Resource ICONs

I am trying to load an icon from the resource file not from a *.ico file. I used the shareware version of Resource Builder to see how they make this work and then borrowed" their code to see if I could get it to work. The code attached is the copy from the resource builder *.rc file which compiles in that program but when I try to use it I get a parse error cause by the first line. Does anyone have any ideas that would help me?

Thanks in advance

What does the parse error say? Have you declared IDI_MYICON?

Well the parse error is:

Line 150 in file resource.rc: parse error

also I have declared IDI_MYICON as:

#define IDI_MYICON 101

in the resource.h file

-geoff

Post it so others can try to compile it.

gg

Do you mean you want me to post the resource.h data?

#define IDI_MYICON 101
