section '.rsrc' resource from 'res1.res' data readable

directory 24,manifest
resource manifest,\
1,LANG_NEUTRAL,man
resdata man
db '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>',13,10
db '<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">',13,10
db '<assemblyIdentity name="x.x.x" processorArchitecture="x86" version="5.1.0.0" type="win32"/> ',13,10
db '<description>no</description>',13,10
db '<dependency>',13,10
db '<dependentAssembly>',13,10
db '<assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" version="6.0.0.0" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df" language="*" />',13,10
db '</dependentAssembly>',13,10
db '</dependency>',13,10
db '</assembly>',13,10
endres

This is what I have...I used this

begin:
invoke GetModuleHandle,0
mov [gIst],eax

invoke InitCommonControls
invoke DialogBoxParam,eax,MAINDLG,0,DlgProc,0

invoke ExitProcess,0

It won't set the damn manifest.... Anyone have a example?

Here's how to update the example /FASM/EXAMPLES/DIALOG

This code is from an elder update of Thomas Grysztar but today obsolete due to the evolution of FASM syntax http://board.flatassembler.net/topic.php?t=170

Ok here we go. Open the folder /FASM/EXAMPLES/DIALOG
Add a new file called manifest.xml which contains

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly
   xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1"
   manifestVersion="1.0">
<assemblyIdentity
    processorArchitecture="x86"
    version="5.1.0.0"
    type="win32"
    name="DIALOG.exe"/>
    <description>Mx XP Program</description>
    <dependency>
    <dependentAssembly>
    <assemblyIdentity
         type="win32"
         name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"
         version="6.0.0.0"
         publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df"
         language="*"
         processorArchitecture="x86"/>
    </dependentAssembly>
    </dependency>
</assembly>

Now Open DIALOG.ASM it is in /FASM/EXAMPLES/DIALOG
After label "start:" just above "invoke GetModuleHandle,0" add:

Code:

invoke  InitCommonControls

In section '.idata' add a new library (Dont forget the ,\ to continue the same line):

Code:

comctl,'COMCTL32.DLL'

To declare the function we want to import (that we invoked at the beginning) add after the imports from user:

Code:

  import comctl,\
         InitCommonControls,'InitCommonControls

Lastly in the section '.rsrc' add

Code:

RT_MANIFEST = 24

Modify the line

Code:

directory RT_DIALOG,dialogs

So that it looks like this:

Code:

  directory RT_DIALOG,dialogs,\
            RT_MANIFEST,manifests

Then add a new ressource entry:

Code:

  resource manifests,\
           1,LANG_ENGLISH+SUBLANG_DEFAULT,manifest

At the very end of the file add

Code:

  resdata manifest
    file 'manifest.xml'
  endres

At this point, the code is ready for compile.
But you can have the same result without an external XML file:
Just modify the latest section "resdata manifest"
to be like this:

Code:

  resdata manifest
   db '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>',13,10
   db '<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">',13,10
   db '<assemblyIdentity name="DIALOG2.exe" processorArchitecture="x86" version="5.1.0.0" type="win32"/> ',13,10
   db '<description>no</description>',13,10
   db '<dependency>',13,10
   db '<dependentAssembly>',13,10
   db '<assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" version="6.0.0.0" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df" language="*" />',13,10
   db '</dependentAssembly>',13,10
   db '</dependency>',13,10
   db '</assembly>',13,10
  endres

In both cases you won't need to release the XML file with your application as the XML code is embedded in the exe.

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\crap\fasmexp\freaker.asm [331]:
directory RT_DIALOG,dialogs,\
C:\WinAsm\Assemblers\fasm\INCLUDE\macro/resource.inc [19] directory [14]:

This is what I have right now..

section '.rsrc' resource from 'res1.res' data readable
RT_MANIFEST = 24

directory RT_DIALOG,dialogs,\
RT_MANIFEST,manifests
resource manifests,\
1,LANG_ENGLISH+SUBLANG_DEFAULT,manifest

resdata manifest
db '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>',13,10
db '<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">',13,10

endres

Here's an even simpler example. Run the executable first, and see if this works. Shouldn't try to recompile the code, I modified many things in my include files/macros. Just gave the source so you can have an idea of how to do it.

Sorry that I followed a certain step by step tutorial to recompile FASMW: it is cool. (By the way the exe is 112Kb, compiled in 0.3 seconds... ;^)

Perhaps you have an older compiler?

I have the newest one ... I don't understand why it won't execute ... It's very odd.. Does it work for everyone?

Sorry your having so much trouble shism2. Try copying the resource info from my hello example into your hello example that came with fasm. Then recompile using your compiler setup. You can also try turning off your anti-virus software temporarly.

ya I did try that but the same thing happens. Anyone have any ideas why this is happening?

FIXED :

On sp2 it seems invoke InitCommonControls is not needed

I run sp1 and a call to invoke InitCommonControls is needed before any xp styles can be displayed ( the messagebox)

That is a different api Smile

and either way I tested it and that's how it works on mine

on sp1 if I don't use initcommoncontrols the messagebox doesn't even pop up. While sp2 I don't have to use the api

Glad you got it working Very Happy

! So I can understand this, sp1 (and earlier?) requires a call to initcommoncontrols so you can see the new features, but in sp2 the function is not needed? Never would have accured to me that this was the problem.

You are using sp2?

It was really just luck I figured it out.. I remember someone before told me to use that api and I tried it and WELL it worked !
