Wc_static

[george7378]

Hi everyone,

I have the following resource (a dialog box with a picture frame in it, intended to display a picture known as "IDB_SUNPIC"):

LANGUAGE LANG_NEUTRAL, SUBLANG_NEUTRAL
IDD_SUNPAGE DIALOG 0, 0, 490, 352
STYLE DS_3DLOOK | DS_CENTER | DS_MODALFRAME | DS_FIXEDSYS | WS_VISIBLE | WS_BORDER | 

WS_CAPTION | WS_DLGFRAME | WS_POPUP | WS_SYSMENU
CAPTION "Latest Sun"
FONT 8, "Ms Shell Dlg 2"
{
    CONTROL         IDB_SUNPIC, IDC_SUNFRAME, WC_STATIC, SS_BITMAP, 30, 12, 341, 236
}

I get the message:

error RC2104 : undefined keyword or key name: WC_STATIC

I know what this means, but I am confused as to how I define WC_STATIC. If I do this:

#define WC_STATIC                               -2

...The button I press to open the dialog box does not work. What do I need to do? Is there a different way to display images in dialog boxes and frames?

Thanks.

WC_STATIC should be declared in Windows.h.
I have no idea why it wouldn't declare it if you are including Windows.h properly (is there an include windows.h statement?).
If all fails, you could try manually adding

#define WC_STATIC               "Static"

in your resource.h file.

The "Static" definition worked - thanks.
