hello dear programmers, im using masm32 with the Quick editor 4.0g. im trying to add simple menu to my window but i cant see the menu after assembling and linking. can someone suggest a nice tutorial about adding resources to a window? without a resource editor. just by writing an rc manualy, thanks
just use that and modify it
Quote
#include <\MASM32\INCLUDE\RESOURCE.H>
//500 ICON MOVEABLE PURE LOADONCALL DISCARDABLE "MAINICON.ICO"
MAINMENU MENUEX MOVEABLE IMPURE LOADONCALL DISCARDABLE
BEGIN
POPUP "&file", , , 0
BEGIN
MENUITEM "&Exit", 1000
END
POPUP "&help", , , 0
BEGIN
MENUITEM "&About", 1900
END
END
i'l try it, thanks.
i was following a tutorial that had a different sample of the code but it didn't worked correctly.
can you tell me also how to link a manifest.xml file to the resource.. thanks
in the masm32\bin folder is a file named rc.hlp :t
also, there is always msdn

If you are using the MASM32 batch files and the resource compiler, converter, and linker are not reporting an error, then perhaps the problem is that you have not loaded the resource and assigned the menu to the window.
WindowProc proc hwnd:HWND, uMsg:UINT, wParam:WPARAM, lParam:LPARAM
SWITCH uMsg
CASE WM_CREATE
;-------------------------------------------
; Load the menu resource from the EXE file.
;-------------------------------------------
invoke LoadMenu, hInst, IDM_MENU
mov hMenu, eax
;--------------------------------
; Assign the menu to the window.
;--------------------------------
invoke SetMenu, hwnd, hMenu
Also, note that MOVEABLE, IMPURE, LOADONCALL, DISCARDABLE, etc have long been obsolete, and are ignored by Win32.
