What this is going to do is to read a text from a resource file and to display it in a window. I got a window created successfully, but I couldn't get a right text in a window instead I got a garbage. Would someone help me? I created in advance a resource file by using ResEdit and wrote a code something like TEHandle teh; Handle hte; long len; teh = TENew(&dest_rect, &view_rect); hte = GetIndResource((ResType)"TEXT", (int)256); len = SizeResource(hte); TESetText(*hte, len, teh); According to the debugger, after calling GetIndResource, hte still pointed to 0x000000. I have been struggling with this problem for a couple of weeks but still I couldn't get out of it. I am using LightspeedC 3.0 on Macintosh SE. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Shoichi Nakai sn0v@andrew.cmu.edu
