Re: [Dev-C++] Resource problem using dialog

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

Don't know about the resolution  of the previously reported problem, but
somehow there seems to be a missing

#define IDC_STATIC (-1)

in an include file somewhere. I have it defined in winuser.h which gets
included from winresrc.h which gets included from windows.h

I basically copied & pasted it from a tutorial example and modified the text between the quotes and changed the ID to DLG_HELP which I defined in the second included header file but it won't work, not even before I made any changes.
