Thread: Resources problem

Hello, I have recently started programming in WIN32 API in DEV-C++, where I encountred several problems with resources handling:
1)whenever I change my resource file, the compiler throws a syntax error:
{
[Warning] ISO C requires whitespace after the macro name
unrecognized escape sequence unrecognized escape sequence

}

which, for some paranormal reason can be only fixed by editing the resource header file (PROJECT_NAME.h) in any way(adding whitespace, deleting one, whatever...)

2) adding MENUITEM in

Code:

MAINMENU MENU DISCARDABLE
BEGIN
          POPUP "FILE" 
       BEGIN
MENUITEM "The error", IDM_ERROR
       END
END

Throws a syntax error



Does anyone has any idea, where the problem could be?
Thanks.
