resource file management problem

[scienzia]

Hi

I would like to know how to put a file in the resources and read it in my application.

It is a binary file.
I found something about usual kinds of resources (icons, bitmaps, wav ...) but nothing to handle a binary file

Thanks in advance

Open up your project's RC2 file (usually projname/res/projname.rc2) in a text editor. Add a line

[tt]IDR_identifier DATA "filename"[/tt]

I think that's right. Note that filename is relative to the project root directory, not the res subdirectory.

You can obtain a handle to the resource with the FindResource API. You can load the resource with the LoadResource API. Then use the LockResource API to obtain a pointer to the memory where the resource is loaded.

_{I REALLY hope that helps.}
Will
