Hi all,
I just started using Eclipse and CDT (together with MinGW) and came across a small problem when using windows resource files (*.rc). I started building a small GUI with the WINAPI consisting of a menu bar with some items. Pressing the left mouse-button should display an extra window dialog using the CreateDialog() method.
I wrote the *.rc files of both the menu and the dialog myself with a texteditor. Using "C/C++ Build->Settings->Build Steps->Pre-build steps" I'm using windres.exe to create the corresponding *.o files. Also, these *.o files are linked using "C/C++ Build->Settings->Tool Setting->MinGW C++ Linker->Miscellaneous->Other objects".
So, here comes the problem:
If the first entry of my 'Other objects'-List is my menu.o the menu bar is displayed. When I click the left mouse-button, no extra window dialog comes up because the CreateDialog()-method returns NULL.
If I move up my dialog.o and so the first entry of my 'Other objects'-List is my dialog.o, then no menu bar is displayed but when I click the left mouse-button now, the extra window dialog comes up.
Thus, I cannot have both the menu and the extra dialog window. The same happens if I want to open the extra dialog window by pressing an item in the menu bar.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!
