I have a piece of code like this
IDB_PNG1 PNG "images\\list-back.png"
HRSRC hrsrc = FindResource(module, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDB_PNG1), TEXT("PNG"));
this works fine,
But I can not make it work any of the variants below
hrsrc = ::FindResource(module, L"images\\list-back.png", L"PNG");
hrsrc = ::FindResource(module, L"images\\list-back", L"PNG");
hrsrc = ::FindResource(module, L"list-back.png", L"PNG");
hrsrc = ::FindResource(module, L"list-back", L"PNG");
GetlastError returns 0x00000716 The specified resource name cannot be found in the image file.
What is the right string format/ way for searching with a string ?
Edit: .rc will be generated and will contain .html and .png files. I want to be able to locate and Load that files without recompiling the exe. I need to be able to identify somehow in .html what .png is using, in exe I will receive that path/id than FindResource and loading. Can this be done ?
The first entry in a RCDATA line is the name (or ID). The last entry simply is "what should the resource compiler use to create this entry" - the name isn't stored in the executable.
FOO RCDATA "images\\list-back.png"
...
::FindResource(module, L"FOO", RT_RCDATA);
