    resource error

    in my resource file my compiler Dev C++ 5, says there is a syntax error. But i can't see any at all.

    Code:
    MyDB DIALOG 18, 18, 142, 92
    CAPTION "Test Dialog Box"
    STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU
    {
          DEFPUSHBUTTON "Red", IDD_RED, 32, 40, 30, 14
                        WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_TABTOP //error line
          PUSHBUTTON "Green" IDD_GREEN, 74, 40, 30, 14,
                     WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_TABTOP
          PUSHBUTTON "Cancel", IDC_CANCEL, 52, 65, 37,14
                     WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_TABTOP
    }
    Non of the lines below have an error and i copied and pasted them to that line, and it still says that there is an error.
    I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left.

    You missed a comma before the 14 on the red and cancel buttons, along with in several other places.


    Here is the fix:
    Code:
    MyDB DIALOG 18, 18, 142, 92
    CAPTION "Test Dialog Box"
    STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU
    {
          DEFPUSHBUTTON "Red", IDD_RED, 32, 40, 30, 14,
                        WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_TABTOP //error line
          PUSHBUTTON "Green", IDD_GREEN, 74, 40, 30, 14,
                     WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_TABTOP
          PUSHBUTTON "Cancel", IDC_CANCEL, 52, 65, 37,14,
                     WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_TABTOP
    }

    now i've fixed that error it brings up this. I'm sure there is no error though.

    Code:
    MyMenu MENU
    {
           POPUP "&Dialog"
           {
                 MENUITEM "Dialog &1", IDM_DIALOG1
                 MENUITEM "Dialog &2", IDM_DIALOG2
                 MENUITEM "E&xit", IDM_EXIT
                 }
           MENUITEM "&Help", IDM_HELP
    }
    
    MyMenu ACCELERATORS
    {
           VK_F2, IDM_DIALOG1, VIRTKEY
           VK_F3, IDM_DIALOG2, VIRTKEY
           "^x",  IDM_EXIT
           VK_F1, IDM_HELP, VIRTKEY
    }
    I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left.
