[Dev-C++] Resource editor problem

[Geir V. <gv...@on...>]

When I try to make a dialog box with the Win32 API and the Forger's =
tutorial, it won't work. I created the menu and loaded the Icon by use =
of a resource file, but when I try to make the dialog too, it seems to =
me like the rsources are not reloaded. Even though I have altered the =
resource file som that it has couple of new menuitems, they do not show =
up when I compile and run the project.

Anybody that has an solution. I am a newbie.

Thanks for your help.

#include "windows.h" in the _resource_ file, it should work fine.

Oh, sorry, did you say recompiling didn't work? Delete the '.res' files in
the project directory. Dev-C++ doesn't seem to check resource files for
dependancy generation. I guess that's a feature request (or a bug-fix, take
your pick).

i'm not sure if i understand you correctly, but, if you make changes to the
resource file, unlike normal .cpp or .h files, dev-c++ does not save and
incorporate the changes in to the compiled executable. you need to make sure
that you manually save the changed resource file before compiling to ensure
the changes are incorporated.
