problem compiling resource file for dialog box
i try to compile a simple windows application but when i try to add the code for the dialog box i get a syntax error in the resource file. The code for the dialog box is this:
IDD_ABOUT DIALOG DISCARDABLE 0, 0, 239, 66
STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU
CAPTION "My About Box"
FONT 8, "MS Sans Serif"
BEGIN
DEFPUSHBUTTON "&OK",IDOK,174,18,50,14
PUSHBUTTON "&Cancel",IDCANCEL,174,35,50,14
GROUPBOX "About this program...",IDC_STATIC,7,7,225,52
CTEXT "An example program showing how to use Dialog Boxes\r\n\r\nby theForger",
IDC_STATIC,16,18,144,33
END
(I' ve just began to learn windows programming but the code is from a tutorial so i suppose it should be correct)
I am using Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2. The syntax error that i get is in the style line.
Thanx in advance.

# 2 Re: problem compiling resource file for dialog box
i tried several positions and i keep getting the same error ... could it be something relevant to my compiler?
Here is the complete resource file. i also tried putting the dialog part in another resource file and with reverse order.
#include "resource.h"
IDR_MYMENU MENU
BEGIN
POPUP "&File"
BEGIN
MENUITEM "E&xit", ID_FILE_EXIT
END
POPUP "&Stuff"
BEGIN
MENUITEM "&Go", ID_STUFF_GO
MENUITEM "G&o somewhere else", 0, GRAYED
END
END
IDD_ABOUT DIALOG DISCARDABLE 0, 0, 239, 66
STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU
CAPTION "My About Box"
FONT 8, "MS Sans Serif"
BEGIN
DEFPUSHBUTTON "&OK",IDOK,174,18,50,14
PUSHBUTTON "&Cancel",IDCANCEL,174,35,50,14
GROUPBOX "About this program...",IDC_STATIC,7,7,225,52
CTEXT "An example program showing how to use Dialog Boxes\r\n\r\nby theForger",
