Including a .h file in a .rc file?
In Lamoth''s TOTWGPG, Chapter 3, the part about resources, he tells you to make a .h file and include it in the .rc file. How do you do this?
The way I did it was, I created a .rc file and then I open up the .h file that VC++ automatically creates. Then I delete all the extra crap in there and just put in my #defines. I don''t see how you could include a .h file into a .rc file....

What Edition are you using. VC 5.0, which is TOTWETP 1st edition, doesn''t have the nice atuomagic .rc file generator.

If it doesn''t automatically create and reference the .h file for you, do this:
1) create both the .h and .rc files and do the #defines, etc
2) at the top of the .rc file, put this line:
change the YourHeaderFile.h to what the .h''s filename really is.
That should work... but remember the .h can only have #defines in it. No code in either the .h linked by the .rc, or in the rc. (You may be able to put resource definitions in the h though..)

Yeah, the problem is how, and where do you put the #include blah.h?? When I double click my .rc file, it turns into a folder and then has another folder which holds resources... There''s nowhere to type or anything in the .rc file. You can''t even import a .h file...
