RE: [Dev-C++] no menu

[Vlada D. <dj...@im...>]

Hello,Abhijit
Thanks a lot for your help about this. I would've never thought about
it. I was just thinking about giving up, but now I think I'll keep
trying.
Thanks again!!!

Wherever you've specified #include <resource.h>, change it to
"resource.h"
and it should work. #include <file> searches for `file' in the standard
directories only, while #include "file" searches in the current
directory
first and then the standard directories. So, right now, it's like
`resource.h' isn't included at all, and it treats all references to the
IDs
(IDI_APPLICATION, etc.) as strings, which would be used like this:

      wincl.lpszMenuName = IDR_MENU)
    (note the absence of MAKEINTRESOURCE(), which converts an int into a
specially flagged string)

HTH.

PS: Please pursue this on the list, by clicking `Reply all' instead of
`Reply'... better not leave too many loose ends in the archives.
