    Question How do you work with resource files???

    How exactly do you put resource files into your programs so that they compile and run without any problems???

    That depends on your compiler.

    ok, I have Dev-C++, and another resource editor to make it slightly eaiser to make win32 apps, both of the programs make the same resource files, and so they are compatible (I dont have a clue if that makes any difference, but I thought I would share it with you anyway)

    I've never used Dev-C++, but doing the following might work:

    Just add the resource file to your project. Then make sure and include the resource header in your code:
    #include "resource.h"

    Lightbulb Try This...

    the winprog tutorial (www.winprog.org) teaches how to use resource scripts though it doesn't tell u how to compile them. I'm using MinGW and you have to use windres (e.g. "windres resource.rc -o resource.o" at the command line).

    dunno if that helps.
