Hi:

I looked at the minipad example and saw how to include one icon.
What is the format for including two or more icons?
Below is the minipad resource script:

section '.rsrc' resource data readable

; resource directory

directory RT_MENU,menus,\
RT_ICON,icons,\
RT_GROUP_ICON,group_icons,\
RT_VERSION,versions

; resource subdirectories

resource menus,\
37,LANG_ENGLISH+SUBLANG_DEFAULT,main_menu

resource icons,\
1,LANG_NEUTRAL,icon_data

resource group_icons,\
17,LANG_NEUTRAL,main_icon

resource versions,\
1,LANG_NEUTRAL,version_info

menu main_menu
menuitem '&File',0,MFR_POPUP
menuitem '&New',IDM_NEW,0
menuseparator
menuitem 'E&xit',IDM_EXIT,MFR_END
menuitem '&Help',0,MFR_POPUP + MFR_END
menuitem '&About...',IDM_ABOUT,MFR_END

icon main_icon,icon_data,'minipad.ico'

version version_info,VOS__WINDOWS32,VFT_APP,VFT2_UNKNOWN,LANG_ENGLISH+SUBLANG_DEFAULT,0,\
'FileDescription','MiniPad - example program',\
'LegalCopyright','No rights reserved.',\
'FileVersion','1.0',\
'ProductVersion','1.0',\
'OriginalFilename','MINIPAD.EXE'

So if I wanted to add an additional icon of minipad2.ico what would I need to do.

Thanks

Code:

 resource icons,\
1,LANG_NEUTRAL,icon_data
2, LANG_NEUTRAL, icon_data2

resource group_icons,\
17,LANG_NEUTRAL,main_icon
18, LANG_NEUTRAL, second_icon

icon main_icon,icon_data,'minipad.ico'
icon second_icon, icon_data2, 'myicon.ico'

Of course you may use another label names and resource ID's.

BTW: The last pre-release version of FASM (Fresh) allow inserting directly RES files, so you can make RES file with some resource editor and then to use:

Code:

section '.rsrc' resource from 'myresource.res' data readable

Regards.

That is awesome, thank-you.
It will be nice when we can insert the resource files, the old method doesn't work too well(using the offset of a dummy.exe file).

Grab a copy of reshack and look at other executables. It's a great way to learn the structure of the resource section.

Gomer73,

I have an example on using external resource linker with Fasm.
Thanks to Privalov,now Fasm has a built-in resource linker
