LockResource  212C_R_ 

The LockResource function locks the specified resource in memory.

LPVOID LockResource(

    HGLOBAL hResData

// handle to resource to lock

   );

 

 

Parameters

hResData

Identifies the resource to be locked. The LoadResource.W6P7M function returns this handle.

 

Return Values

If the loaded resource is locked, the return value is a pointer to the first byte of the resource; otherwise, it is NULL.

Remarks

It is not necessary for Win32-based applications to unlock resources that were locked by the LockResource function.

Trying to lock a resource by using the handle returned by the FindResource or FindResourceEx function will not work. You will get back a value that is incorrect and points to random data.
