Resource.rc

Code:

#include "Resource.h"


IDR_MYMENU MENU
BEGIN
    POPUP "&File"
    BEGIN
        MENUITEM "&Open", 0, GRAYED
        MENUITEM "E&xit", ID_FILE_EXIT   
    END

    POPUP "&Stuff"
    BEGIN
        MENUITEM "&Dialog << Test", ID_DIALOG_RUN

    PUSHBUTTON      "&Cancel",IDCANCEL,174,35,50,14

and finally Resource.h

Code:

#ifndef _RESOURCE_H_
#define _RESOURCE_H_


#define IDR_MYMENU 1001
#define ID_FILE_EXIT 1002
#define ID_DIALOG_RUN 1004

#define IDD_ABOUT 1005
#define ID_BOUT 1003
#define ID_TEXT 1006

#endif

Please Help!

That's because it isn't. You meant LOWORD.

mbad

ok thats done now just this

85 C:\Documents and Settings\Richard\Desktop\win api\Dialog\main.cpp initializing argument 4 of `int DialogBoxParamA(HINSTANCE__*, const CHAR*, HWND__*, BOOL (*)(HWND__*, UINT, WPARAM, LPARAM), LPARAM)'

on

Code:

nt ret = DialogBox(GetModuleHandle(NULL), 
                       MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_ABOUT), hwnd, AboutDlgProc);

and i still got sum errors

103 C:\Documents and Settings\Richard\Desktop\win api\Dialog\main.cpp jump to case label

85 C:\Documents and Settings\Richard\Desktop\win api\Dialog\main.cpp crosses initialization of `int ret'

I can help you with this:

Code:

int ret = DialogBox(GetModuleHandle(NULL), 
                       MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_ABOUT), hwnd,(LONG) AboutDlgProc);

Problems solved over MSN. There were three.....

AboutDlgProc() was defined with the return type bool CALLBACK, rather than BOOL CALLBACK. Thus, DialogBox() wasn't accepting it. And you cannot cast AboutDlgProc as a LONG in DialogBox(). The fourth argument must be a function pointer, not a LONG.

Second, the case statements in WndProc() needed to be encased in brackets. You should always encase your cases in brackets, unless they only contain one statement.

Third, the program would not close. PostQuitMessage() should take 0 as its argument in order to close the entire program.
