l don't understand what (81) and (82) and what the last three statements means.

[Thomas1965]

I guess Cervil is right.
Probably some commas missing after the last 30.

Not a user of vc++, but I guess 81 and 82 are the line numbers within the named file.
Looks like there is an error round about here?

	COMBOBOX IDC_UNICALPTUME_YEAR1,    55,25,30,30, CBS_DROPDOWNLIST|WS_TABSTOP
	COMBOBOX IDC_UNICALPTUME_YEAR2,    55,30,30,30 CBS_DROPDOWNLIST|WS_TABSTOP

Should there not be a comma after 30 and before CBS ?

@Chevil: Thanks but that's how it is done in VC++

@Thomas1965: Unical PTUME.ico is VC++ auto generated file and the IDC_UNICALPTUME_FACULTY is my #define which l put in header file.

The problem is from the COMBOBOX class l put in the .rc. Am creating a combo box
l want to e in a dialog which requires commctrl.h but when l put #include <commctrl.h> the IDE tells me it requires a file.
So my problem which l need help on is how l can insert a combobox in my crafted dialogbox.

Now l corrected the .rc error, on compiling it again, l got the following error

Not so curious if you check the edited time vs the posted time.
