read from resources

[jvds]

I'm trying to read from the resource of a exe file, but cant get to read the manifest info from the file
i got so far as locating the resource, but not reading its content

at the moment i only need to read the description located in the manifest like this
<description>Windows Shell</description> but if i can get at least the entire xml string it will be fine a swell

#include <WinAPIRes.au3>

consolewrite('$RT_MANIFEST='&$RT_MANIFEST&@crlf)

$hInstance = _WinAPI_LoadLibraryEx(@SystemDir&'\notepad.exe', $LOAD_LIBRARY_AS_DATAFILE)
consolewrite('$hInstance='&$hInstance&@crlf)
$hResource = _WinAPI_FindResource($hInstance, $RT_MANIFEST, 1);read manifest from file resource
consolewrite('$hResource='&$hResource&@crlf)

;tests
$hData = _WinAPI_LoadResource($hInstance, $hResource)
consolewrite('$hData='&$hData&@crlf)

_WinAPI_LoadIndirectString ( $hData )
consolewrite('$hData='&$hData&@crlf)

$sText = _WinAPI_LoadStringEx($hResource,'<description>')
consolewrite('$sText='&$sText&@crlf)

$sText = _WinAPI_LoadString($hResource,'<description>')
consolewrite('$sText='&$sText&@crlf)

I've just followed the patterns i saw in the rest of the Resources examples, and got it working, i do not completely understand what i did after the ;test line to extract the xml file, but luckily it works good enough, now i used the xml reader creaded by dexto to read the values but i fail to read 2 values, any tips on how to correctly read them?

thnx
