Loads the specified resource into global memory
#include <WinAPIRes.au3>
_WinAPI_LoadResource ( $hInstance, $hResource )
| $hInstance | Handle to the module whose executable file contains the resource. If this parameter is 0, the system loads the resource from the module that was used to create the current process. |
| $hResource | Handle to the resource to be loaded. This handle is returned by the _WinAPI_FindResource() or _WinAPI_FindResourceEx() function. |
| Success: | Handle to the data associated with the resource. |
| Failure: | 0, call _WinAPI_GetLastError() to get extended error information. |
To obtain a pointer to the resource data, call the _WinAPI_LockResource() function.
