Hi,

1. I am trying to add dialogs to project with fasmw. I have 3 dialogs but failed to do. For only 1 dialog no problem.

This looks,

section '.rsrc' resource data readable

directory RT_DIALOG,dialogs

resource dialogs,\
1000,LANG_ENGLISH+SUBLANG_DEFAULT,DIALOG1,\
2000,LANG_ENGLISH+SUBLANG_DEFAULT,DIALOG2,\
3000,LANG_ENGLISH+SUBLANG_DEFAULT,DIALOG3

dialog DIALOG1,'Create message box',70,70,244,144,WS_CAPTION+WS_POPUP+WS_SYSMENU+DS_MODALFRAME << THIS LINE
dialogitem 'BUTTON',"OK",IDC_BTN1,0x50010000,8,118,46,13,0x00000000
dialogitem 'BUTTON',"Cancel",IDC_BTN2,0x50010000,64,118,46,13,0x00000000
dialogitem "SysTabControl32","",IDC_TAB1,0x50018000,2,1,220,111,0x00000000
; enddialog
dialog DIALOG2,' ',4,15,216,95,WS_VISIBLE,WS_CHILD,0,WS_EX_CONTROLPARENT
dialogitem 'STATIC',"IDC_STC",IDC_STC1,0x50000000,18,20,76,9,0x00000000
dialogitem 'BUTTON',"IDC_BTN",IDC_BTN3,0x50010000,20,68,46,13,0x00000000
; enddialog
dialog DIALOG3,' ',4,15,216,95,WS_CHILD,0,WS_EX_CONTROLPARENT
dialogitem 'EDIT',"",IDC_EDT1,0x50010000,28,25,102,13,0x00000200
enddialog

but not working. For only one dialog there is no problem. The line which i pointed below is resulting an error,


and points to this line in resource macro file,

macro dialog label,title,x,y,cx,cy,style,menu,exstyle,fontname,fontsize
{ local data,size,items
label dd RVA data,size,0,0 << This line is referenced
data dd style or DS_SETFONT,exstyle +0
dw items,x,y,cx,cy
[...]

2. I can not use _EX_ styles in dialogs. Neither for this example nor previous. However, i leave them in place.

Hi! I have expirience programming in MASM/TASM, now I try FASM, but
have similar problems, error code points somewhere in resource.inc
or in import.inc. Who can explain macros in these files, I want to try
write this without macros, to better understand this, because I see in all
examples resources and imports sections is written with macros, and when
I try write some similar code I got errors. That's the prob.
Maybe in these include files must be some comments too?

kaafe,

Fasm is able to link compiled resource (.res) files.

Yep, I know this, but I want to do it in source.
HOW CAN IT BE DONE?

I wanna know, how this can be done in pure asm(FASM), how it really works,
not only write these pseudocode with macro includes.
I can't find where is described, how I must write in FASM
.rsrc and .idata sections without macros. I try to understand
these macros, but find it hard to understand, need some help...

Generally you need the information from this document: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/platform/firmware/PECOFF.mspx (chapter 6.8 is about the resource section).

And to see how to construct the resource section with much simpler macro, please download the fasm 1.07 from the fasm archives - the old WIN32APP example in that package contains the RESOURCE.INC file that shows the first method of building resources, which is much easier to understand.

kaafe: you should use "enddialog" to end list of items for each dialog started with "dialog" macro.

Thank You for quick replay!
