Dude I love reading code as much as the next guy if not more but you gotta use code tags and search google to make certain that is a valid style for your object and make sure you link the appropriate files and headers

Unfortunatly in this forum there are no line numbers. I am still trying to answer.
a) wrong forum. I would use the Visual C forum for this.
b) this is a classic style resource script. Where did you get the code from? The error message is telling you that the resource compiler (the piece of software that puts together all the icons, menu entries, localization strings, ... into a form that can be linked into an executable) is missing a symbol "DS_3DLOOK" .

This symbol occurs multiple times in your resource script. For example:

IDD_TASK_MANAGER_G DIALOG  0, 0, 134, 110
STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | DS_3DLOOK | DS_CENTER | WS_POPUP | WS_CAPTION
CAPTION "Task Manager"

This would tell the resource compiler to create a popup dialog box centered on the screen behaving as a modal dialog box (blocking the rest of the app) with the caption "Task Manager" and with a 3D look and feel.

Two solutions to the problem
1) remove the 3D look and rely on the default
2) search the header files of the compiler where this DEFINE is made and include that header file at the top via #include ...
