I know C++, but I''m new to Windows programming, so bear with me please. I''m making a simple puzzle game for my AP Computer Science class, but I''m struggling with making a resource file to include my bitmap. I am using Metroworks Codewarrior (academic version) and I can''t figure out how to script resource files. Any help? Also, is there an equivalent to the TextOut() function which takes string classes (ie apstring) instead of a pure character array? Thanks. - Andy
