i get error
Error 1 error C2065: 'IDE_ACCELERATOR1' : undeclared identifier c:\documents and settings\nitin.mycomputer\desktop\mfc keyboard keys\mfc keyboard keys\mfc keyboard keys.cpp 10

That is because IDE_ACCELERATOR1 has not been declared anyway, see the error tells you what the problem is.

The problem is not in the code you posted but rather in another file, if IDE_ACCELERATOR1 is supposed to be a resource definition it should be defined in Resource.h, however you need to open you your resources in your IDE and see how you have defined your accelerator table.


As an aside MFC is an ancient technology and wasn't a very good one to start with. If you are looking to write Windows programs and have only just started out you would be better advised to use the .NET Framework.

You can download Visual Studio 2005 Express for free (or Visual Studio 2008 Express Beta) this will allow you to do .NET development.

Didn't you read what Banfa wrote:

So if something isn't declared and your compiler whines about it, you should
declare it somehow; it's up to you, it's your code.

kind regards,
