Unable to build resource file with Visual C++ Express
Hello,
I am new to the Microsoft Visual C++ IDE and am having trouble adding a resource file for my project. I have manually loaded a "slideshow" project which includes 5 bitmap images and 2 icons in the resource folder along with a prewritten .rc file. When I load everything to MSVC++ Express the slideshow window appears but just displays a blank screen-no images. I had read that I may need to include afxres.h, but that was only included with MFC...How do I download that and is it necessary? I tried using "winres.h" but the compiler couldn't find this file either. I have compiled many windows programs without issue to date but this is my first using the resources area.
Also, I tried to make a new resource file as explained in the "how do I" section but when I select the project and go to... Project->Add Item... there is no "Resource File" to select in the window of available items. I appreciate any help with these issues.
Mike
