Using Menues
Author
hi!
i''ve been programming c++ in dos for a while now, and i just started to program win32 console programs with a little help from "tricks of the windows game programming gurus" (awesome book). my compiler (msoft vc++ 6.0) keeps on giving me 3 errors with the following resource script:
#include"rcdef.h"
TheMenu MENU DISCARDABLE
{
POPUP "File"
{
MENUITEM "&Hello", Menu_File_ID_Hello
MENUITEM "&PlaySound", Menu_File_ID_PlaySound
MENUITEM "Clos&e", Menu_File_ID_Close
}
POPUP "Help"
{
MENUITEM "&About", Menu_Help_ID_About
}
}
it says that the line TheMenu MENU DISCARDABLE is missing a semicolon before MENU (!??!), TheMenu is a missing storage type, and unexpected end of file found. can anyone help me with this? thanks,

Sounds like you''re trying to compile it with the C++ Compiler. You should use the resource compiler instead.
It''s called rc.exe
It''s called rc.exe
You should use BEGIN/END instead of { and }
#include "rcdef.h"TheMenu MENU DISCARDABLEBEGIN POPUP "File" BEGIN MENUITEM "&Hello", Menu_File_ID_Hello MENUITEM "&PlaySound", Menu_File_ID_PlaySound MENUITEM "Clos&e", Menu_File_ID_Close END POPUP "Help" BEGIN MENUITEM "&About", Menu_Help_ID_About END} This topic is closed to new replies.
