[Dev-C++] Question on .rc files in dev

[Chris H. <fie...@ya...>]

Whenever I attempt to put stuff in the .rc file of a project, I receive parse errors like the one on line 4 of this code:

#include "resource.h"

IDD_ABOUT DIALOG DISCARDABLE  0, 0, 239, 66
STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU
CAPTION "(text)"
FONT 8, "MS Sans Serif"

BEGIN
    DEFPUSHBUTTON "OK",ID_OK,174,18,50,14
    PUSHBUTTON  "(text)",ID_TECHSUPPORT, 174, 35, 50, 14
    GROUPBOX  "(text)",IDC_STATIC, 7, 7, 225, 52
    CTEXT   "(text)"
END

Anyone know how to build .rc files in dev correctly? Please reply with info, thanks.

You should put #include <windows.h> as the first line of your .rc file,
else you can't use defined values like WS_POPUP..
