ilutLoadResource

 

ilutLoadResource is a Windows-specific function that loads a resource as the current bound image. This feature allows you to have images directly in your .exe and not worry whether a particular file is present on the user's harddrive. An alternative, more portable solution is to use ilSave with IL_CHEAD as the Type parameter.

 

ILboolean ilutLoadResource(
  HINSTANCE hInst, ILINT ID, char * ResourceType, ILenum Type );


Parameters

 
hInst
The application-s HINSTANCE
ID
The resource identifier of the resource to be loaded
ResourceType
The type of user-defined resource (name used when creating)
Type
The type of image to be loaded. Use IL_TYPE_UNKNOWN to let OpenIL determine the type


Errors

 
ILUT_ILLEGAL_OPERATION
The operation attempted is not allowable in the current state. The function returns with no ill side effects.
