Excuse me ,I have a piece of programme I don''t understand. The codes are: //EXAMPLEH2.RC #include "resource.h" IDR_MENU MENU DISCARDABLE BEGIN POPUP "&File" BEGIN MENUITEM "E&xit",IDM_EXIT END END //RESOURCE.H #define IDR_MENU 102 #define IDM_EXIT 40001 These codes above are picked up in <>.I wonder whether it was written in C++.Was it in VB,Delphi or other computer language?The other question is why it was written like this .Is it the only way?Could you give me C++ codes but the same effect .

the .rc file is a resource file, it''s not written in a programming language like c, c++, delphi, or vb.

the .h file is a header. although headers can have everything a .c or .cpp program can have, headers included by the resource files usually only have #defines that map symbolic identifiers (IDM_EXIT, IDR_MENU) to number values (40001, 102).

altogether, that is not a program. when compiled, .rc files produce .res files - compiled resources. not .exe or .dlls.

What niyaw said. Just wanted to add that your resource file snippet defines a window menu. When you make changes in VC''s menu editor, this is the code that gets changed. In VC, there''s usually no need to edit rc files manually.
