Hi! I''m having some headaches with resource files and I hope you can help me. Let me explain the problem: I want to include a midi file in my proyect, so I did a resource file: //heres the code: //Microsoft Developer Studio generated resource script. // #include "resource.h" #define APSTUDIO_READONLY_SYMBOLS ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // // Generated from the TEXTINCLUDE 2 resource. // #include "afxres.h" ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// #undef APSTUDIO_READONLY_SYMBOLS ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // Spanish (Mexican) resources #if !defined(AFX_RESOURCE_DLL) // defined(AFX_TARG_ESM) #ifdef _WIN32 LANGUAGE LANG_SPANISH, SUBLANG_SPANISH_MEXICAN #pragma code_page(1252) #endif //_WIN32 #ifdef APSTUDIO_INVOKED ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // // TEXTINCLUDE // 1 TEXTINCLUDE DISCARDABLE BEGIN "resource.h\0" END 2 TEXTINCLUDE DISCARDABLE BEGIN "#include ""afxres.h""\r\n" "\0" END 3 TEXTINCLUDE DISCARDABLE BEGIN "\r\n" "\0" END #endif // APSTUDIO_INVOKED ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // // MIDI // IDR_MIDI1 MIDI DISCARDABLE "loopfury.mid" #endif // Spanish (Mexican) resources ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// #ifndef APSTUDIO_INVOKED ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // // Generated from the TEXTINCLUDE 3 resource. // ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// #endif // not APSTUDIO_INVOKED and the resource.h file created is: //{{NO_DEPENDENCIES}} // Microsoft Developer Studio generated include file. // Used by firstdraw.rc // #define IDR_MIDI1 102 // Next default values for new objects // #ifdef APSTUDIO_INVOKED #ifndef APSTUDIO_READONLY_SYMBOLS #define _APS_NEXT_RESOURCE_VALUE 105 #define _APS_NEXT_COMMAND_VALUE 40001 #define _APS_NEXT_CONTROL_VALUE 1000 #define _APS_NEXT_SYMED_VALUE 101 #endif #endif So far my proyect compiles and gets the exe done.. the uh ohs are when I run my exe because this function fails: HRSRC hFound = FindResource(NULL, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_MIDI1), TEXT("MIDI")); Someone has an idea why is all this happening? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post.
