I am on the tutorial on winprog.org, and I am making a status bar. here is my code:

hStatus = CreateWindowEx(0, STATUSCLASSNAME, NULL, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | SBARS_SIZEGRIP, 0, 0, 0, 0, hWnd, (HMENU)IDC_MAIN_STATUS, GetModuleHandle(NULL), NULL);

errors:

also by status bar, i mean like this:

The intellisense error message flags line 144 in your code. There is nothing in the posted code that would cause the E0029 error.

So the problem is related to something else.

So, I had to #define IDC_MAIN_STATUS and added an id to it, and it worked.

If a #define for IDC_MAIN_STATUS did not exist in resource.h that would have been flagged by intellisense as a separate error - E0020 identifier 'IDC_MAIN_STATUS' is not defined.

So if that intellisense error was not present then resource.h did include a #define for IDC_MAIN_STATUS but there was no value assigned to it.
