I am reading windows game programming for dummies and Im still in the beginning where it talks about making menu''s I have microsoft visual c++ and was wondering how to make a .rc file to put the menu code in. I went to file/new/resource script but there was nothing for me to type the code into can someone please help?

After you add a new resource script to the project, you will get a new tab on the workspace window. You should already have two tabs, ClassView and FileView. The new tab should be called ResourceView. Click on that tab.

In the tree view control that opens up, you should see one root entry: "'your app name' resources". Right click on that and select "Insert" from the pop-up menu. Now you can choose what type of resource to insert. Click the "New" button and a new entry will be added into the resource view. Double click on the new entry to and an editor window will open for whichever type of resource you want to create. If you have an existing resource to add, you would choose the "Import" rather than the "New" button in the insert dialog.

Good luck!
