You must compile the menu resource file with the resource compiler (rc) found in the ObjectAda\bin directory. There is an RC.hlp file located there also that will give you all the rc info you need. If I remember the GUIbuilder tutorial does mention the need to compile menues with the resource compiler. Unfortunately, the GUIbuilder help page did not have this included. I hope this oversight will be corrected in the 7.1 release.

When I checked out ObjectAda I noticed that most of the graphical objects
are in the generated code from the gui builder. However the menus were not.
They were in the resource file along with a few other things. The resource
file is used to store data that describes dialog boxes menus etc.  There is
an external tool called a resource compiler that converts this into a linkable
file with the extension of .rbj. Somewhere in the linker options, (I'm sorry I
can't be more specific I was transfered right after I evaluated it.) you can add
the resource file. Check the sample windows program files to see where to add
the option.
Hopefully this limited information will help.

David,

Mark is correct.  You must compile the menu resource file with the resource compiler
(rc) found in the ObjectAda\bin directory.  There is an RC.hlp file located there also
that will give you all the rc info you need.  If I remember the GUIbuilder tutorial does
mention the need to compile menues with the resource compiler.  Unfortunately,  the
GUIbuilder help page did not have this included.  I hope this oversight will be corrected
in the 7.1 release.
