problem with menus

[captainron]

after several attempts i've been unable to get menus to work the way i want them to. i've looked at all the examples and seem to have the code right, but when i complile a program with a menu in it i can't get them to work (this includes the examples themselves).

does the .rc file need to be linked in some way that i'm not seeing? or even named something specific?

problem solved. i wasn't compiling my resource file. rookie mistake.
