Windows Program Resources

Windows program resources are binary data embedded in executable modules.
Standard resource types include: cursors, bitmaps, icons, menus, dialog boxes, string tables, message tables, fonts, accelerator tables, version information, Plug and Play resources, VXD resources, HTML resources, manifest files, and RCData (raw binary data).
Dialog boxes are loaded from resources and executed by a single function in single-threaded applications.
Programmers can create custom resource types.
Resources are separate from code and data and can be shared across multiple programs.
Resources can be identified by a number (0 to 65536) or a string within a .exe file.
Resources are defined using a resource description language (RC language) in .rc files. These are compiled into the .exe file.

Resource Management Functions

Updating resources:
- BeginUpdateResource(LPCTSTR pFileName, bool bDeleteExistingResources): Starts resource update process; returns a handle to use in subsequent operations. bDeleteExistingResources specifies whether existing resources should be removed before updating.
- UpdateResource(HANDLE hUpdate, LPCTSTR lpType, LPCTSTR lpName, WORD wLanguage, void* lpData, DWORD cbData): Adds, removes, or replaces a resource. Called multiple times between BeginUpdateResource and EndUpdateResource.
- EndUpdateResource(HANDLE hUpdate, bool fDiscard): Finishes resource updating; if fDiscard is true, resource updates are cancelled.

Loading Resources

Locating resources:
- FindResourceEx(HMODULE hModule, LPCTSTR lpType, LPCTSTR lpName, WORD wLanguage): Locates a resource with given type, name, and language in a specified module. Related functions include FindResource.
Loading resources into memory:
- LoadResource(HMODULE hModule, HRSRC hResInfo): Loads specified resource into global memory; related loading functions include LoadImage, LoadMenu, etc.
Getting resource size:
- SizeofResource(HMODULE hModule, HRSRC hResInfo): Gets the size of a loaded resource in memory.

This quiz covers the essential aspects of Windows program resources, including standard resource types and their management functions. Learn about how resources are defined, stored, and updated in executable modules. Explore the significance of resource types such as dialogs, icons, and fonts in application development.
