Confused Trying to make a little menu resource and decided to make one menu similar to Notepad's. Between a few tutorials and google, I managed somewhat decently. However, when I try to compile this, line 107 gives me an error. This is based off of the menu code that sulaiman converted from masm to fasm. *HIS* code compiles without any problem, whereas mine doesn't. After going through at least twenty pages back in the Windows forum and Googling like crazy, I've broken down and decided to seek help.

Again, line 107,which I've marked, is what fasm claims to be the culprit. Any and all help is much appreciated.

I just had hard trouble with hand-crafted menus. Just wanted to let you know:
Code:
;NOT WORKING!!!
  menu FirstMenu
       menuitem '&Test Controls',0,MFR_POPUP
                menuitem "Say Hello",IDM_HELLO
                menuitem "Clear Edit Box",IDM_CLEAR
                menuitem "Get Text", IDM_GETTEXT
                menuseparator
                menuitem "E&xit",IDM_EXIT,MFR_END
    

Even the first menuitem should have MFR_END flag because it is the last of the main menu items!

Everytime you see FASM telling you "undefined symbol 'size?05x'" or something and menuname dd RVA data?05w,size?05x,0,0 then you probably should check where you missed MFR_END flag

The correct one is this:
Code:
  menu FirstMenu
       menuitem '&Test Controls',0,MFR_POPUP+MFR_END
                menuitem "Say Hello",IDM_HELLO
                menuitem "Clear Edit Box",IDM_CLEAR
                menuitem "Get Text", IDM_GETTEXT
                menuseparator
                menuitem "E&xit",IDM_EXIT,MFR_END
