Hi, I'm using Visual C++ 2008 Express edition, and I was using a separate resource editor (it doesn't include one). Anyway, when I try to compile the application with the resource file it gives me this:The problem isn't with the resource editor, as I've tried doing things manually as well. Here's what the resource file had in it (I know what's in it isn't the problem, as I've tried just using the last line of code which also turned up the same problem):Quote:
error C2059: syntax error : 'constant'
I haven't been able to find the answer anywhere else. Can anyone help me? Thanks.Code:// Generated by ResEdit 1.3.3
