Syntax Error in resource

Well, reading this tutorial, I'm trying to create a dialog.

The dialog code in resource

Code:

// About dialog
IDD_ABOUT DIALOG DISCARDABLE 0, 0, 150, 100
STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU
CAPTION "About"
FONT 8, "MS Sans Serif"
{
	DEFPUSHBUTTON "&Ok", IDOK, 90, 75, 50, 14
	CTEXT "Just a test program to practice Windows programming in C++\r\nMade by Lucas van Dijk.", IDC_STATIC, 7, 7, 134, 80
}

main.cpp

Code:

#include <windows.h>
#include "resource.h"

/*  Declare Windows procedure  */

But then, when I try to compile it with Dev-C++ (latest version) I get the following error:

26 D:\Dev-Cpp\projects\Test\resource.rc [Resource error] syntax error

Line 26:

Code:

	CTEXT "Just a test program to practice Windows programming in C++\r\nMade by Lucas van Dijk.", IDC_STATIC, 7, 7, 134, 80

But I don't see any mistakes?

What's the problem?

In your resource script you forgot:

Code:

#include <afxres.h>
#include "resource.h"

Ah Great!

It works now

thanks!
