Resource question
Hey guys,
I am trying to learn Windows programming. I found theForgers tutorial and I had a question about it. It says that in the resources.h header file you have to assign an integer to each resource when you define it, like...
Code:
#define IDR_MYMENU 101
#define IDI_MYICON 201
#define ID_FILE_EXIT 9001
#define ID_STUFF_GO 9002
Are the number completely random? Can I enter anything (aside from negative numbers or decimals)? Is there a limit? Thanks.

They aren't random, but they are arbitrary. However, there probably is some reserved area, I think below 100, for the system. Also, the upper limit might be as low as ~32000 (2^15-1), but that's only a worst-case scenario.
