FindResource
The FindResource function determines the location of a resource with the specified type and
name in the specified module.
HRSRC FindResource(
HMODULE hModule,
| // resource-module handle
| LPCTSTR lpName,
| // pointer to resource name
| LPCTSTR lpType
| // pointer to resource type
| );
|
|
Parameters
hModule
A handle to the module whose executable file contains the resource.
A value of NULL specifies the module handle associated with the image file
that the operating system used to create the current process.
lpName
Specifies the name of the resource. For more information, see the Remarks
section.
lpType
Specifies the resource type. For more information, see the Remarks section.
For standard resource types, this parameter can be one of the following values:
Value
| Meaning
| RT_ACCELERATOR
| Accelerator table
| RT_ANICURSOR
| Animated cursor
| RT_ANIICON
| Animated icon
| RT_BITMAP
| Bitmap resource
| RT_CURSOR
| Hardware-dependent cursor resource
| RT_DIALOG
| Dialog box
| RT_FONT
| Font resource
| RT_FONTDIR
| Font directory resource
| RT_GROUP_CURSOR
| Hardware-independent cursor resource
| RT_GROUP_ICON
| Hardware-independent icon resource
| RT_ICON
| Hardware-dependent icon resource
| RT_MENU
| Menu resource
| RT_MESSAGETABLE
| Message-table entry
| RT_RCDATA
| Application-defined resource (raw data)
| RT_STRING
| String-table entry
| RT_VERSION
| Version resource
|
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is a handle to the specified
resource's info block. To obtain a handle to the resource, pass this handle to the LoadResource function.
If the function fails, the return value is NULL. To get extended error
information, call GetLastError.
Remarks
If the high-order word of the lpName or lpType parameter is zero, the low-order word specifies the integer identifier of the
name or type of the given resource. Otherwise, those parameters are long
pointers to null-terminated strings. If the first character of the string is a pound
sign (#), the remaining characters represent a decimal number that specifies
the integer identifier of the resource's name or type. For example, the string
"#258" represents the integer identifier 258.
An application should reduce the amount of memory required for the resources
by referring to them by integer identifier instead of by name.
An application can use FindResource to find any type of resource, but this function should be used only if the
application must access the binary resource data when making subsequent calls to LoadLibrary and LockResource.
To use a resource immediately, an application should use one of the following
resource-specific functions to find and load the resources in one call:
For example, an application can use the LoadIcon function to load an icon for display on the screen. However, the application
should use FindResource and LoadResource if it is loading the icon to copy its data to another application.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
