OK thanks. I'm asking this after reading some of Petzold's "Programming Windows" 5th Edn. 1999. In the samples there he states that
# define IDC_STATIC -1
is automatically included in the resource.h header.
In my code (and Petzold's) the only header includes are windows.h and resource.h.
Does windows.h reference either Afxres.h or winres.h?
Is so has that changed since DevStudio of 1999?

Thanks,
- Mitch


You might find another #include in your .rc file

Petzold was written many versions of Visual Studio ago. Things might have changed.
