MAKEINTRESOURCEA macro (winuser.h)

Converts an integer value to a resource type compatible with the resource-management functions. This macro is used in place of a string containing the name of the resource.

Syntax

void MAKEINTRESOURCEA(
   i
);

Parameters

i

The integer value to be converted.

Return value

None

Remarks

The return value should be passed only to functions which explicitly indicate that they accept MAKEINTRESOURCE as a parameter. For example, the resource management functions allow the return value of MAKEINTRESOURCE to be passed as the lpType or lpName parameters.

Note

The winuser.h header defines MAKEINTRESOURCE as an alias which automatically selects the ANSI or Unicode version of this function based on the definition of the UNICODE preprocessor constant. Mixing usage of the encoding-neutral alias with code that not encoding-neutral can lead to mismatches that result in compilation or runtime errors. For more information, see Conventions for Function Prototypes.
