    The problem with Dev C++ is that it has no resource editor. I recommend searching the net for a resource editor so you can make your menu with it and then add it to your program normally.

    wc.lpszMenuName = MAKEINTRESOURCE(menu id);

    in your window class definition.
    Don't try so hard. Just let it happen.

    whoa! jeesus! slow down there hunter. i barely know how to make a window in the first place. im trying to burn the tutorials on a cd so i can view it off-line (something is wrong with IE these days) and nothing seems to work. and i have 24k modem speed with only 15hours a month allowed. theres my reason.

    as for a resource editor. uhhh...name one and link it and ill see.

    1. Inside your computer, there is this thing called a hard drive. Generally this is a good place to put things on when you don't need to take the information to other places. (Why burn onto a CD?)

    2. I would not recommend just copying and pasting code to make your programs. At least try to learn, don't just use templates and expect things to work. You won't learn anything that way.

    Heh, actually I was kidding I only know how to make them transparent, and (maybe) how to animate them.
    Just Google It. √

    ok, you dont understand there. my C drive, is 2gigs of memory. total alotted. and im down to oly 400megs of memory left. (or even 300) a burner is my last hope at keeping my files and cleaning out my computer.

    and hunter, hehehehe, i wish i could. but i know nothing right now. especially embedding a graphic. i know its a paint function with a "class".

    i usually dont just copy and paste code. i type it all up first (in the compiler/editor) and if it dont work i copy and paste if i give up trying to figure out what i typed wrong. and that usually works. im typo-prone.
