create menu with resource.rc file ? - 09/06/14 05:10

Hello,

I program in lite c legacy mode and I would like to add a resource.rc file in my code to create a menu. How to get it to read the file?

Thanks in advance.

Winapi - include windows.h in your script.

With some adjustment the following should work in Lite-C.

HRSRC rc = FindResource(g_hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_XML1), MAKEINTRESOURCE(XML));
HGLOBAL rcData = LoadResource(g_hInstance, rc);
DWORD size = SizeofResource(g_hInstance, rc);
const char* data = static_cast<const char*>(LockResource(rcData));

As a start:

Thanks for your response. I'll test it immediately.

I have test but I do not have the types HRSRC and HGLOBAL. I create them in windows.h?
