Question

I am new to this platform, and I am trying to resolve an issue with existing code that was developed by a contractor many years ago.

In Resource.h, I have something that looks like this, where the last two items I have added.

#define IDC_HOSPITAL_NAME_LABEL         1069
#define IDC_REASON_LABEL                1070
#define IDC_HOSPITAL_NAME_EDIT          1071
#define IDC_COMMENTS_EDIT               1072
#define IDC_COMMENTS_LABEL              1073

I have compiled and deployed several times, I am using the constants in code and it doesn’t complain on compile, however, while it might be unrelated to an issue I am trying to resolve, I do notice that in the IDE, if I right click and “Goto” definition of my new added items, it says “The symbol ‘IDC_COMMENTS_LABEL’ is undefined.”

In fact, it will happen even if I do this at the definition, where as it works as expected with the other non-new definitons.

Sounds to me like its just “one of those things”. You will notice plenty. Try not to get too wound up by them. In the end … if it compiles … don’t worry about it 🙂
