MrmCreateResourceIndexer function

Creates a resource indexer, used to generate package resource index (PRI) files for both packaged and unpackaged desktop apps.

COM must be initialized (e.g. by calling CoInitializeEx) before using this function.

Syntax

HRESULT HRESULT MrmCreateResourceIndexer(
  _In_     PCWSTR                   packageFamilyName,
  _In_     PCWSTR                   projectRoot,
  _In_     MrmPlatformVersion       platformVersion,
  _In_opt_ PCWSTR                   defaultQualifiers,
  _Inout_  MrmResourceIndexerHandle *indexer
);

Parameters

packageFamilyName [in]

Type: PCWSTR

The package family name (PFN) of the app for which you will be generating PRI files. If you are building a PRI file for a packaged app, this must match the PFN of the app (as listed in the AppxManifest). If you are building a PRI file for an unpackaged app, this must be the string "Application".

projectRoot [in]

Type: PCWSTR

The root directory from which some file paths will be computed. Typically this will be the root directory of your source project, but may differ. See File resources in MRM for more information.

platformVersion [in]

Type: MrmPlatformVersion

The platform version (targetOsVersion) to use for the generated configuration file. Most callers should just use MrmPlatformVersion_Windows10_0_0_5

defaultQualifiers [in, optional]

Type: PCWSTR

A list of default resource qualifiers. For example, "language-en-US_scale-100". For more information about qualifiers, see Qualifiers in MRM.

indexer [in, out]

Type: MrmResourceIndexerHandle*

A pointer to a resource indexer handle. On successful return, this will contain a handle to a resource indexer. You must free the indexer via MrmDestroyIndexerAndMessages after using it.

Return value

Type: HRESULT

S_OK if the function succeeded, otherwise some other value. Use the SUCCEEDED or FAILED macros (defined in winerror.h) to determine success or failure.

Remarks

Most of the MRM APIs require an indexer handle to operate. The handle is created by this function or one of the related functions listed below under See Also.

Use MrmDestroyIndexerAndMessages to release the resources associated with the indexer after using it.
