VS2008

I use C++ in VS 2008, I usually add .bmp file into resource file .rc. But now I want to add .txt file, .wav and so on. But I don't know how to, can anybody help me ?

Adding resource files is one work, using resources is a another work. Therefore I want to know how to use it. For example how to read .txt file from resource.

I hope you can help me. Thank you so much !

To add special resources, select Custom after selecting Add Resource.

To use these resources you can use the following APIs in order.
FindResource - Use type parameter as RT_RCDATA.
LoadResource

LockResource

The pointer returned by LockResource can be used to copy the .txt or .wav contents.
