C Builder correct way to Load string from ressources-CodePudding

I am new in either c , and c builder(11 v-28), i have put in ressources a text file(via projet->Ressources and Images), but i can't find any method to retrieve my text from ressources, LoadStr(..) function reclaim a numeric identifier that i can't found or how to get it.

CodePudding user response：

Using C Builder you can use functions in the RTL to help you.

When you put the large text file into the resources you would have given it a type and Id. Normally for an embedded file the type would by RT_RCDATA.

(I haven't checked this code at all so it probably won't compile, but should give you a pointer)

  TStream * function TMyForm::GetResourceStream(UnicodeString szResName);
  {
  TStream:     rc;
  id:          int;

    rc=nil;
    id=StrToIntDef(szResName, 0);
    if(id > 0)
    {
      rc = TResourceStream::CreateFromID(hInstance, id, RT_RCDATA);
    }
    return(rc);
  }

Th hInstance is the Instance of your program that is passed to WinMain.

Once you have the TStream you can read from it. You could populate a TStringList for example.
