I'm trying to learn windows programming using VC 6.00++ and few books (and a reference). I'm stuck withe the menu resource file. I can create and attach a menu using resource file editor where you can choose from several options, but the books give an alternative which is, I quote: "resource script files are simply uncompiled text files", and looks like this:
Menu_Name MENU DISCARDABLE
{
POPUP "File"
{MENUITEM "Open", FILE_ID_OPEN
MENUITEM "Close", FILE_ID_CLOSE
MENUITEM "Save", FILE_ID_SAVE
MENUITEM "Exit", FILE_ID_EXIT}
POPUP "Help"
{MENUITEM "About", FILE_ID_ABOUT}
}//EOF
My question is where do you put this "code" (how do you attach it to the project), what file (folder), what extension (file type), what editor type you use, and anything else that would be helpful.
Thank you much, Mike.
