First question: Now, I have some resource-only dlls, I want to coonvert them to hex-format *.cpp file. And get resource from *.cpp file later. But, I don't know how to do that.

Second question: How can i enumerate all resources in a resource dll with FindResourceEx?

Any one can help me?

Here is the *.cpp format(sample format)?

C++

unsigned long g_XXXResourceMap[172] = 
{
    0x7725,0xa,0x0,0xd21,0x7726, 0xa,0xd21,0xf99,0x7727, 0xa,0x1cba,0xe15,0x7728, 0xa,0x2acf,0xd7f,
    0x7729,0xa,0x384e,0xcf2,0x772a, 0xa,0x4540,0xc75,0x772b, 0xa,0x51b5,0x128a,0x772c, 0xa,0x643f,0xda1,
    0x772d,0xa,0x71e0,0xf51,0x7744, 0xa,0x8131,0xda5,0x7745, 0xa,0x8ed6,0xcc2,0x7746, 0xa,0x9b98,0xe18,
};

unsigned char g_XXXResourceArray[55001] = 
{
    0x78,0x9c,0x1,0x16,0xd,0xe9,0xf2,0x89,0x50,0x4e,0x47,0xd,0xa,0x1a,0xa,
    0x0,0x0,0x0,0xd,0x49,0x48,0x44,0x52,0x0,0x0,0x0,0x18,0x0,0x0,0x0,0x18,
    0x8,0x6,0x0,0x0,0x0,0xe0,0x77,0x3d,0xf8,0x0,0x0,0x0,0x9,0x70,0x48,0x59,
    0x73,0x0,0x0,0xb,0x13,0x0,0x0,0xb,0x13,0x1,0x0,0x9a,0x9c,0x18,0x0,0x0,
};

There are quite a few tools[^] available to extract resources in source format for you. You can use the EnumResourceTypes function[^], and its associated functions to access them from C/C++.

One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.
