Hello,

Here's my problem:  I can't seem to correctly use a resource file in my
program.  I use BCB4 (unfortunately, you most likely won't be able to
help me if you don't use that) and have tried to compile Charles
Petzold's source for his menus in windows.  Unfortunately, the book is
more geared towards VC++ (which I don't have/use).  If you've
successfully used a .rc file in BCB4 I would LOVE to have your help!

Thanks so much,

Brian

    I don't have the latest version of the book, but as far as I know
    it doesn't target any particular compiler. He uses plain  C and the
    Windows API. Perhaps he supplies make files for VC++ on the
    disc, but that's not the only way to build the project. You should
    be able to just drop the *.c & *.rc files onto your BCB project
    and then 'build'. Then again, I don't use BCB either, but it
    can't be that much different from BC++ 5 (which I use).

    What is the specific problem you are having? Are you having
    problems adding the .rc to the project? Is BCB refusing to
    compile it? Is BCB refusing to bind it? Or is this a runtime
    loading problem? The .rc probably contains several types
    of resources. Is this problem common to all of them or just
    one resource?
