Trouble with resource files
I have a resource file with a dialog box...When I try to compile the program, it says that there is an undeclaired indentifier for my dialogbox (IDD_ABOUT)....
Here is the code I am using (I have also uploaded the files into a zip file if you wish to download):
Code:
#include <windows.h>
#include "resource.h"
// function prototype
LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND, UINT, WPARAM, LPARAM);
BOOL CALLBACK AboutDlgProc(HWND, UINT, WPARAM, LPARAM);
const char className[] = "myWindowClass";
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
WNDCLASSEX wc; // window class
HWND hwnd; // handle to a window
MSG msg; // message
// regster the window class
wc.cbSize = sizeof(WNDCLASSEX);
wc.style = 0;
wc.lpfnWndProc = WndProc;
wc.cbClsExtra = 0;
wc.cbWndExtra = 0;
wc.hInstance = hInstance;
wc.hIcon = LoadIcon(GetModuleHandle(NULL), MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_MYICON));
wc.hCursor = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW);
wc.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)(COLOR_WINDOW+1);
wc.lpszMenuName = MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_MENU1);
wc.lpszClassName = className;
wc.hIconSm = (HICON)LoadImage(GetModuleHandle(NULL), MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_MYICON), IMAGE_ICON, 16, 16, 0);
if(!RegisterClassEx(&wc)) {
MessageBox(NULL, "Failed to initialize class", "Error", MB_ICONEXCLAMATION | MB_OK);
return 0;
}
// creating the window
hwnd = CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE, className, "Henrique", WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,
CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT, 250, 250, NULL, NULL, hInstance, NULL);
if(hwnd == NULL) {
MessageBox(NULL, "Failed to create window", "Error", MB_ICONEXCLAMATION | MB_OK);
return 0;
}
ShowWindow(hwnd, nCmdShow);
UpdateWindow(hwnd);
// message loop
while(GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0) > 0)
{
TranslateMessage(&msg);
DispatchMessage(&msg);
}
return msg.wParam;
}
// window procedure
LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hwnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
switch(msg) {
case WM_CLOSE:
DestroyWindow(hwnd);
break;
case WM_DESTROY:
PostQuitMessage(0);
break;
case WM_COMMAND:
switch(LOWORD(wParam))
{
case ID_FILE_EXIT:
PostMessage(hwnd, WM_CLOSE, 0, 0);
break;
case ID_HELP_ABOUT:
{
int ret = DialogBox(GetModuleHandle(NULL),
MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_ABOUT), hwnd, AboutDlgProc);
if(ret == IDOK){
MessageBox(hwnd, "Dialog exited with IDOK.", "Notice",
MB_OK | MB_ICONINFORMATION);
}
else if(ret == IDCANCEL){
MessageBox(hwnd, "Dialog exited with IDCANCEL.", "Notice",
MB_OK | MB_ICONINFORMATION);
}
else if(ret == -1){
MessageBox(hwnd, "Dialog failed!", "Error",
MB_OK | MB_ICONINFORMATION);
}
}
break;
}
break;
default:
return DefWindowProc(hwnd, msg, wParam, lParam);
}
return 0;
}
// about dialog procedure
BOOL CALLBACK AboutDlgProc(HWND hwnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
switch(msg)
{
case WM_INITDIALOG:
return true;
case WM_COMMAND:
switch(LOWORD(wParam))
{
case IDOK:
EndDialog(hwnd, IDOK);
break;
case IDCANCEL:
EndDialog(hwnd, IDCANCEL);
break;
}
break;
default:
return false;
}
return true;
}
Thanks.
