Single-Line Statements

The general form for all single-line statements is:

 ──resourcetype──nameid──┬────────────┬─────
                           └─loadoption─┘

 ──┬───────────┬──filename──
    └─memoption─┘

resourcetype (USHORT)

One of the following keywords, specifying the type of resource to be loaded:

Keyword

Resource type
BITMAP
A bit-map resource is a custom bit map that an application intends to use in its screen display or as an item in a menu.
DEFAULTICON
This keyword installs the filename.ico icon definition under the ICON EA of the program file.

Example:

DEFAULTICON <filename.ico>

DLGINCLUDE
This statement tells the dialog editor which file to use as an include file for the dialogs in the resource file. The nameid is not applicable.
FONT
A font resource is a file containing a font.
ICON
An icon resource is a bit map defining the shape of the icon to be used for a given application.
POINTER
A pointer resource is a bit map defining the shape of the pointing device pointer on the display screen.
nameid (USHORT)
is either a unique name or an integer number identifying the resource. For a FONT resource, the nameid must be a number; it cannot be a name.
loadoption (LOADOPTION)
The default is LOADONCALL.

See Resource Load and Memory Options for a description of LOADOPTION.

memoption (MEMOPTION)
The default is MOVEABLE and DISCARDABLE for POINTER, ICON, and FONT resources. The default for BITMAP resources is MOVEABLE. The FIXED option overrides both MOVEABLE and DISCARDABLE. The SEGALIGN option can be specified independently of other options, if it is not present the default (for all resources) is that the resource is not aligned on a 64KB boundary.

See Resource Load and Memory Options for a description of MEMOPTION.

filename (PCH)
An ASCII string specifying the OS/2* name of the file containing the resource. A full path must be given if the file is not in the current working directory.

Example

POINTER "pointer" point.curPOINTER "discardable pointer" DISCARDABLE point.cur
POINTER 10 custom.cur

ICON "desk" desk.ico
ICON "discardable desk" DISCARDABLE desk.ico
ICON 11 custom.ico

BITMAP "disk" disk.bmp
BITMAP "discardable disk" DISCARDABLE disk.bmp
BITMAP 12 custom.bmp
