MAKEINTRESOURCE()

The MAKEINTRESOURCE macro converts an integer value to a resource type compatible with Win32 resource-management functions. This macro is used in place of a string containing the name of the resource.

LPTSTR MAKEINTRESOURCE(
  WORD wInteger  // integer to convert
);
 

Parameters

wInteger

Specifies the integer value to be converted.

Return Values

The return value is the specified value in the low-order word and zero in the high-order word.

Remarks

The return value should be passed only to the Win32 resource-management functions, as the lpType parameter.

The MAKEINTRESOURCE macro is defined as follows:

#define MAKEINTRESOURCE(i)  (LPTSTR) ((DWORD) ((WORD) (i)))
