Thread: resource file problem

Hey. Things are going along nicely. Well, they were. Learning menus now.

I'm having problems with the .RC files. The resource files that contain information on what is actually in the menus. Here is the code:

Code:

#include "resource.h"


MYMENU1 MENU DISCARDABLE
BEGIN
    POPUP "File"
    BEGIN
        MENUITEM "Open",                        ID_FILE_OPEN
        MENUITEM "Close",                       ID_FILE_CLOSE
        MENUITEM "Exit",                        ID_FILE_EXIT
    END
    POPUP "Help"
    BEGIN
        MENUITEM "About",                       ID_HELP_ABOUT
    END
END


.

This the resource file for a simple windows program that has menus. One is "file" and one is "help". I can't get this to compile. I'm using MSVC 6.0. This is what it says:

Compiling resources...
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\MyProjects\Basic menu\Prog_2.rc(1) : fatal error RC1015: cannot open include file 'resource.h'.
Error executing rc.exe.

Prog_2.res - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)



I don't know where or what resource.h is. Is it a generated header file? Any help would be appreciated. I'd like to get this compiled, understand it and move on to better things.
