all. I would like to know if there is a good way to read out values in a compiled resource (*.res) file. I am familiar with reading resources from an executable, and I’m wondering if there is a similar way to read out resources from a resource file. Thanks in advance!
The windows functionality for dealing with res files deals with them almost exclusively as embedded resources. Typically an application will ship with localized resources contained in resource only dlls. LoadLibraryEx takes flags like
LOAD_LIBRARY_AS_DATAFILEthat are used to prevent the Dlls DllMain being called.The most help you’re going to get from Microsoft wrt loading res files directly is this MSDN Page
If manipulation of resources is what you want BeginUpdateResource UpdateResource, EndUpdateResource is an API you can use to inject (or modify) a version resource in an existing dll.
