Embedded .RES files

[Scott Turchin]

Can you embed a .RES in a .RC file???
Taking a look at a VB6 .RC file, quite Microsoft Messy, so much easier to do in clean PB, but if I can embed it then things would be easier..

You can include virtually anything as binary data using the RT_RCDATA resource type. At runtime of your app, simply load the binary data into memory and write it into an appropriate disk file.

What sort of application are you going to use this for? Curious minds enquire...

Actually just a test to see if there would be an easier way for one of our users here to include WAV files.
He's using VB6 to create the dialogs, theAXRES.H file, the whole messy mess that Microsoft makes when making a .RC file...

Or I can filter that down to viewable terms and make the wave file work...

MS Seems to do things a little differently in their .RC files, and maybe that's OK, but it sure is hard to read
