EnumResourceNames + RT_STRING

Friday, May 4th, 2012

It sounds pretty straightforward to enumerate the resources  in a file. But it turned out to be rather a lot of work (and waste of time), since the MS doesn’t tell you, that it doesn’t enumerate the strings, but blocks of strings in a binary format that you have to process yourself.

Here’s how to do it:

BOOL CALLBACK EnumResNameProc(HMODULE hModule, LPCTSTR lpszType, LPTSTR lpszName, LONG_PTR lParam)
{
 switch ((int)lpszType)
 {
 case RT_STRING:
 {
 HRSRC hRes = FindResourceEx(hModule, RT_STRING, MAKEINTRESOURCE(lpszName), MAKELANGID(LANG_NEUTRAL, SUBLANG_NEUTRAL));

 if (hRes)
 {
 HGLOBAL hGlo = LoadResource(hModule, hRes);
 LPCWSTR lpStr = (LPCWSTR)LockResource(hGlo);
 DWORD dwsize = SizeofResource(hModule, hRes);

 long count=0;
 for (int i=0; i < (int)dwsize; i++)
 {
 count++;
 if (count>=16)
 break;

 if (lpStr[i])
 {
 WORD *pString = lpStr+i+1;
 long lString = lpStr[i];

 //Process string here

 i += lpStr[i];
 }
 }
 }
 }
 break;
 }

 return(TRUE);
}

EnumResourceNames(hModule, RT_STRING, &EnumResNameProc, NULL);
