I'm using aaro's giant windows include with FASMW V1.52 and everything works fine up to this point, but when I tried to compile Minipad example the resource macros gave me some problems, the error messages are below. And also, can the resource compiler provided with masm be used with FASMW V1.52 in some way?

Code:

instruction:

you can compile a res file and use it with your program , the faq has the code needed to do that although it doesnt say how you would actually implement it in code. for example i made DIALOG_0 in my resource editor, using the info from the faq:

Quote:

Can I use the compiled resource file instead of macros to build the resource section when creating PE format?

Yes, flat assembler has such feature since the 1.50 release. You can create the resource section from resource file made by any resource compiler or editor, just declare it this way:

section '.rsrc' data readable resource from 'my.res'

i dont know how to load DIALOG_0 in my program. calling

Code:

  code:
   ....
      invoke  DialogBoxParam,eax,DIALOG_0,HWND_DESKTOP,DialogProc,0
   ....
   ....

section '.rsrc' data readable resource from 'test.res'

fails, perhaps im doing it the wrong way?

You have to give the same identifier you use in your resource editor. For instance, if you have DIALOG_0 = 3000 this value must be the same used when editing dialog resource.

You could use resource hacker to read your.res file

Hello everyone, thanks for your suggestion coconut. Would you guys happen to have some example code to upload? In the example above would you need a label just before loading in the resource file? And a non-programming question, can we have a better and more colorful emoticons!? The ones in use now remind me of windows 3.1 (Yeeuuuk!!)!!! Evil or Very Mad
