DialogBox returns -1. GetLastError returns error 1813: The specified resource type cannot be found in the image file.
I have looked through the code, and as far as I can tell, the program has nothing to do with icons, bitmaps, or any other sort of images. Any ideas?
Post the smallest possible code that has the same result.
I will work on trimming that 300+ lines of code down a little bit. :)
It gives the error whenever I add the two files accel.rc and accel.h to the project.
Code://accel.rc
#include <windows.h>
/*#include "C:/project/resource.h"*/
#include "C:/project/accel.h"
//
// Accelerator resources
//
IDR_ACCELERATOR1 ACCELERATORS
BEGIN
"^i", ID_ACCELERATOR_ADMIN_LOGIN, ASCII
VK_F1, ID_ACCELERATOR_HELP, VIRTKEY
"^o", ID_ACCELERATOR_ADMIN_LOGOUT
"^a", ID_ACCELERATOR_ADD_USER
"^d", ID_ACCELERATOR_DELETE_USER
END
Code://accel.h
#define IDR_ACCELERATOR1 99900
#define ID_ACCELERATOR_ADMIN_LOGIN 99901
#define ID_ACCELERATOR_HELP 99902
#define ID_ACCELERATOR_ADMIN_LOGOUT 99903
#define ID_ACCELERATOR_ADD_USER 99904
#define ID_ACCELERATOR_DELETE_USER 99905
Anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?
Yep... your accellerator table is malformed... only the first and second lines are correct.Quote:

"^o" does not identify shifted O... you need to add the SHIFT option to the line, instead.
Code:"O", 1200, ASCII, SHIFT
You should also know that when you are using accelerators you have to modify your windows message dispatcher... For accelerators in dialogs it will end up looking something like this...
Finally, you should, whenever possible, use the default windows keyboard processing of certain keys...Code:while( GetMessage(&Msg, hWND, 0, 0) > 0 )
if ( ! TranslateAccellerator( hWND, hAccellTable,&Msg) )
if ( ! IsDialogMessage( hWND, &Msg) )
{ TranslateMessage( &Msg);
DispatchMessage( &Msg); }
For example:
WM_HELP is issued when the user presses F1
WM_CONTEXTMENU is issued when the user presses the menu key
WM_COMMAND is issued with the value IDOK when the user presses Enter
WM_COMMAND is issued with the value IDCANCEL when the user presses Esc
And, finally, for reference here's a copy of a working table....
Code:HOTKEYS ACCELERATORS
{
80, 1000, VIRTKEY
VK_SPACE, 1001, VIRTKEY
83, 1002, VIRTKEY
VK_PRIOR, 1003, VIRTKEY
VK_NEXT, 1004, VIRTKEY
VK_LEFT, 1005, VIRTKEY
VK_RIGHT, 1006, VIRTKEY
VK_UP, 1007, VIRTKEY
VK_DOWN, 1008, VIRTKEY
49, 1009, VIRTKEY
50, 1010, VIRTKEY
51, 1011, VIRTKEY
52, 1012, VIRTKEY
VK_RETURN, 1013, VIRTKEY
84, 1014, VIRTKEY
88, 1015, VIRTKEY
}
^o was supposed to be Ctrl+o. How do I do that?
Did you read the documentation in the link I provided? It explains it quite well.Quote:

Now what?Code:IDR_ACCELERATOR1 ACCELERATORS
BEGIN

VK_F1, ID_ACCELERATOR_HELP, VIRTKEY //F1
0x6F, ID_ACCELERATOR_ADMIN_LOGOUT, ASCII, CONTROL //ctrl-o
0x61, ID_ACCELERATOR_ADD_USER, ASCII, CONTROL //ctrl-a
0x64, ID_ACCELERATOR_DELETE_USER, ASCII, CONTROL //ctrl-d
END
Here... try using this...Quote:

That is what I used to create the accelerator table.Quote:

This is the current content of accel.rc:
Now it compiles just fine but when I run it DialogBox generates error 1813. Is the accelerator table okay now?Code:// Generated by ResEdit 1.5.7
