Dear Forum,
Newcomer here...sorry if I have posted in the wrong forum, or if this is not really about C::B.
I´m trying to grasp the Win32 API, coding under XP, using Code::Blocks IDE and the resource editor "Resource editor 1.1.4.2" http://www.radasm.com/resed/ (http://www.radasm.com/resed/)
With the resource editor I have created a resource file containing two new icons (16x16 and 32x32) called IDI_NEWICON.
Now, renaming the .rc resource file to xrc (for use with Code::Blocks) I add this file to my Win32 project, which consists of nothing more than a window.
In the main file I change the WinMain to
wincl.hIcon = LoadIcon (hThisInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_NEWICON));
...and the "wincl.hIconSm" accordingly.
Compiling I get the error message:
error 'IDI_NEWICON' undecleared (first use this function)
I suspect that I need to add another header file or something , but what should be in it ?
Any suggestions would be appreciated
regards
t.

This isn't really about C::B, but I'll answer it anyway.
A good resource editor will usually automatically create (or have the option to create) a header file containing integer defines for the identifiers -- i.e. "#define IDI_NEWICON 1001", or similar. Find this header file (or create it if you can't have it automatically created), and #include it where necessary.

Now, renaming the .rc resource file to xrc (for use with Code::Blocks)
Try not renaming the file to xrc extension leave the rc extension. codeblocks automatically detect the rc extension as a resource and compile it with the right tool.
