i used Microsoft Visual C++ for the resource script and everything is fine, i made a menu, an icon, a cursor, and version info and saved it all, brought it home (i made it on the schools compiler) and plugged the Resource.h and Resource.rc into my Bloodshed Dev C++ project, and created my window.

now the window itsself doesn;t have any errors at all. but how do i include the custom cursor i made and icon?
WndClass.hCursor = LoadCursor (NULL, IDC_MAINCUR);
WndClass.hIcon = LoadIcon (NULL, IDI_ICON1);

thats how i thought and it wont work.

but heres another thing:

theres a problem in the resource script. its trying to:
#include "afxres.h"
and it sais that there is no such file or directory. i set the settings of my compiler to Win32GUI. but the frig is going on here!
