Please log in for more thread options Thank you very much for the reply, Scott. However, I'm still having
difficulty getting the resource into the game. I've tried both methods:
1) I've placed the data file, pzdata.dat, into what I think is the same
folder as the executable "GameProject\Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone SDK
(ARMV4I)\Debug\pzdata.dat". That directory is where the GameProject
executable is. However, when I run this code:
HANDLE hFind;
WIN32_FIND_DATA FindFileData;
hFind = FindFirstFile( L"pzdata.dat", &FindFileData );
I get an INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE for hFind. Perhaps am I putting the data file
in the wrong place?
2) I import the .dat files as a resource and give it type RT_RCDATA (which
according to the documentation is an Application Defined Raw Resource). I
give it the ID MAP_DATA1 in the properties window. Then I try to find the
resource with this code:
HRSRC resource;
resource = FindResource( NULL, MAKEINTRESOURCE( MAP_DATA1 ), RT_RCDATA );
When I do this the "resource" variable is undefined. I'm hoping I'm just
missing a simple step but so far nothing has worked. Is there anything else
I can try.
Thank you again.
