This chapter describes statements defining the resources that the Microsoft Windows Resource Compiler (RC) adds to an application's executable file. Once a resource is added to the executable file, the application can load the resource as it is needed at run time.
All resource statements associate an identifying name or number with a given resource. Most statements can also include load and memory options for the resource, specifying whether the resource should be preloaded or loaded on demand and whether the memory allocated for the resource should be discardable.
