Hi everybody,

I'm just beginning to study Windows Programming
using Forger's tutorial. I managed to build some
examples from that tutorial on DevCpp, but I
had just faced a resource file compiling error.
I spent some time on documentation without success.
Fortunately, after some searches on Google I found
what was wrong.

The error was about a control ID named IDC_STATIC.
Well, firstly, I understood that it would be defined
as -1 in another header (found it in winuser.h). However,
because of that error I mentioned above, I had to
define IDC_STATIC in my own resource header to make
the program run.

Did I miss something in the documentation or
is this a common procedure in Windows programming?
Is there something related to DevCpp or MingW?

My Dev is 4.9.9.2 with WinAPI package 3.2 on
a Win2k Pro.

Thanks in advance,
Rafael Charnovscki
