Hi Djura

Glad to see it's ok now.

>I just don't understand
>why I had to replace IDC_STATIC with -1?

Well, that's because from Windres' view, IDC_STATIC is unknown and is
considered as a  label 
which must be defined in the include file corresponding with the
resource one.

Like this : #define IDC_STATIC 2000 or everything else.

But when I design a GUI, each time I know a static element won't be used
by the program, I set 
its ID to -1.

Well, there is an online manual for DevC++ on bloodhed's site I think.
Regarding Win32 API, I 
suggest you to buy the MS SDK CDROM online on MSDN. It costs USD 17 for
anybody which 
lives in Europe and it is a *must buy* for anybody who wants to develop
anything on Win 
platforms. This CD is worth hundreds of Euros in programming books, if
you can find any 
nowadays on plain Win32 API programming, so sad....

But if you need a good start, just check out Forger's tutorial (Grab the
URL using Google, haven't 
got it on this computer now) and find the basic "win32.hlp" file
anywhere else.

Kind regards
