LoadResource  2W1AE3 

The LoadResource function loads the specified resource into global memory.

HGLOBAL LoadResource(

    HMODULE hModule,

// resource-module handle 

    HRSRC hResInfo

// resource handle

   );

 

 

Parameters

hModule

Identifies the module whose executable file contains the resource. If hModule is NULL, Windows loads the resource from the module that was used to create the current process.

hResInfo

Identifies the resource to be loaded. This handle must be created by using the FindResource4M9XMZG or FindResourceExZUCO4N function.

 

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is a handle to the global memory block containing the data associated with the resource.

If the function fails, the return value is NULL. To get extended error information, call GetLastError11C2VS7.

Remarks

Both Windows 95 and Windows NT automatically free resources. You do not need to call the FreeResource function to free a resource loaded by using the LoadResource function.
