I tried to create small program that has a resource dialog as main window. Till Now I do not know the steps of creating the resource and I am asking if there are any include lines inside the program *.ch?
Thanks

The idea I got the error message that main resource is not found. What my program should be edited by to make the resource visible to it ?

Ehab,

Are you storing your resources into the EXE or into an external DLL ?

If they are inside the EXE, open the EXE with the resources workshop and double check that the resources are there.

That is my code below : I created a resource called 1_2_02 that contained 1 Dialog also called 1_2_02 and my program also called 1_2_02.prg

Include "FiveWin.ch"

Function Main()

Local oDlg
DEFINE DIALOG oDlg RESOURCE "1_2_02"
ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg CENTERED

Return NIL

Application

Try to use another name different from "1_2_02"

Ok I renamed the dialog from 1_2_02 to main inside the resource 1_2_02.rc .Also I got an Error :

1_2_02.rc(13) error RW2001 : undefined keyword or key name :

Ehab,

You have to #include "WinApi.ch" into your RC file.

Not all Tools works well in workshop , eg . the BorlandRadioButton doesn't work and the program gave me :
Can not find main resource.

Ehab,

If you use Borland own controls, then you have to load the Borland DLL from your application before using the resources:

local hDLL := LoadLibrary( "bwcc.dll" )

... your code...

FreeLibrary( hDLL )

Is there a special library for every resource editor ?
