[Dev-C++] (Win32) Resource troubles...

[<CBR...@ne...>]

Why does this work:

1500 DIALOG DISCARDABLE  0, 0, 239, 66
STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU
CAPTION "My About Box"
FONT 8, "MS Sans Serif"
BEGIN
    DEFPUSHBUTTON   "&OK",IDOK,174,18,50,14
    PUSHBUTTON      "&Cancel",IDCANCEL,174,35,50,14
    CTEXT           "Formula:", IDC_STATIC, 9, 9, 155, 12
    CTEXT           "Valid Variables:", IDC_STATIC, 9, 39, 65, 12
//    EDITTEXT        1909, 9, 20, 160, 14, ES_AUTOHSCROLL, WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE
    EDITTEXT        EAPP_VAR, 9, 51, 65, 14, ES_AUTOHSCROLL, WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE
END

But not this:
1500 DIALOG DISCARDABLE  0, 0, 239, 66
STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU
CAPTION "My About Box"
FONT 8, "MS Sans Serif"
BEGIN
    DEFPUSHBUTTON   "&OK",IDOK,174,18,50,14
    PUSHBUTTON      "&Cancel",IDCANCEL,174,35,50,14
    CTEXT           "Formula:", IDC_STATIC, 9, 9, 155, 12
    CTEXT           "Valid Variables:", IDC_STATIC, 9, 39, 65, 12
    EDITTEXT        1909, 9, 20, 160, 14, ES_AUTOHSCROLL, WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE
    EDITTEXT        EAPP_VAR, 9, 51, 65, 14, ES_AUTOHSCROLL, WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE
END

Thanks,
Ax

Hi,

I tried to compile both rc codes with Dev-C++ 4.9.6.8 and both do not
compile. There were errors.

Do you also have a resource header file? If so, what are the entries in your
resource header file?

For CTEXT, the second field should be the control ID. In this case
IDC_STATIC. Usually this is defined in a resource header
In EDITTEXT, the first field should be the control ID. I see you have used
EAPP_VAR. This should also be defined in a resource header.

Here are the few lines I've added to the top of the rc file and Dev-C++ now
compiles without any errors.
For example:
#include <windows.h>
#define IDC_STATIC 10000
#define EAPP_VAR   20000


Regards,
Yeoh
