Re: resource file
The answer was perfectly on topic. The .rc file is used as an ornamental tool to do things prior to the execution of an .exe file such as add the icon or provide information about the program in a Windows environment. Google resource files (.rc) for more info.

No, as far as I know That type of usage of an rc file is meant for win32/gui projects eoserv is just a console app, so even if you add the files needed to produce a file menu it wont do anything!
The rc file:
#define IDR_MAIN_MENU 2000
#define IDM_FILE_OPEN 2100
#define IDM_FILE_EXIT 2105
IDR_MAIN_MENU MENU DISCARDABLE
BEGIN
POPUP "&File"
BEGIN
MENUITEM "&Open...", IDM_FILE_OPEN
MENUITEM "E&xit", IDM_FILE_EXIT
END
END
Add to main.cpp:
#include <windows.h>
#define IDR_MAIN_MENU 2000
#define IDM_FILE_OPEN 2100
#define IDM_FILE_EXIT 2105
long __stdcall WindowProcedure (HWND hwnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
if(message==WM_DESTROY)
PostQuitMessage(0);
else
return DefWindowProc(hwnd, message, wParam, lParam);
return 0;
}
int __stdcall WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrev, LPSTR lpszArgument, int nCmdShow)
{
char szClassName[ ] = "CodeBlocksWindowsApp";
MSG messages;
WNDCLASS wc;
HWND hwnd;
wc.hInstance = hInstance, wc.lpszClassName = szClassName;
wc.lpfnWndProc = WindowProcedure, wc.style = 0;
wc.hIcon = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_APPLICATION), wc.hCursor = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW);
wc.lpszMenuName = MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_MAIN_MENU), wc.cbClsExtra = 0;
wc.cbWndExtra = 0, wc.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)COLOR_BACKGROUND;
RegisterClass(&wc);
hwnd=CreateWindow(szClassName,"Template",WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,50,50,544,375,HWND_DESKTOP,NULL,hInstance,NULL);
ShowWindow (hwnd, nCmdShow);
while(GetMessage (&messages, NULL, 0, 0))
{
TranslateMessage(&messages);
DispatchMessage(&messages);
}
return messages.wParam;
}
Maybe try creating a win32 gui frame based app and add this in! My antivirus picks up the
win32 gui projects but as far as I know its a false positive!
Edit: Now that you have me messing around with rc files I've found myself editing the file descriptions on all my projects >.<!
