I'm learning Windows API and I can't seem to find how to create a menu. I tried MSDN's resource, but it's stinks, when I try to compile I get an error.
So can anybody direct to to a tutorial that shows you how make a menu by hand? I'm using MSVC++ Express Edition 2008, which doesn't the, "Add Resource" feature.
You can't create resources from within the Express Edition. You have to create them externally in a text editor and then bring them into your project to compile it with the rest of the application.
