RESDIR structure

Applies to: desktop apps only

Contains information about an individual icon or cursor component in a resource group. There is one RESDIR structure for each group component. The structure definition provided here is for explanation only; it is not present in any standard header file.

Syntax

Copy

typedef struct {
  ICONRESDIR Icon;
  CURSORDIR  Cursor;
  CURSORDIR  Planes;
  CURSORDIR  BitCount;
  CURSORDIR  BytesInRes;
  CURSORDIR  IconCursorId;
} RESDIR;

Members

Icon: Type: ICONRESDIR; The width, height, and color count of the indicated icon.
Cursor: Type: CURSORDIR; The width and height of the indicated cursor.
Planes: Type: CURSORDIR; The number of color planes in the icon or cursor bitmap.
BitCount: Type: CURSORDIR; The number of bits per pixel in the icon or cursor bitmap.
BytesInRes: Type: CURSORDIR; The size of the resource, in bytes.
IconCursorId: Type: CURSORDIR; The icon or cursor with a unique ordinal identifier.

Remarks

One or more RESDIR structures immediately follow the NEWHEADER structure in the .res file. The ResCount member of the NEWHEADER structure specifies the number of RESDIR structures. Note that the RESDIR structure consists of either an ICONRESDIR structure or a CURSORDIR structure followed by the Planes, BitCount, BytesInRes, and IconCursorId members. If the RESDIR structure contains information about a cursor, the first two WORDs the resource compiler writes to the RT_CURSOR resource are the xHotSpot and yHotSpot members of the LOCALHEADER structure.

Requirements

Minimum supported client	Windows 2000 Professional
Minimum supported server	Windows 2000 Server

for icon
typedef struct {
  ICONRESDIR Icon;
  WORD       Planes;
  WORD       BitCount;
  DWORD      BytesInRes;
  WORD       IconCursorId;
} RESDIR;

for cursor
typedef struct {
  CURSORDIR  Cursor;
  WORD       Planes;
  WORD       BitCount;
  DWORD      BytesInRes;
  WORD       IconCursorId;
} RESDIR;

RESDIR definition

I think there is a mistake in structure definition:

typedef struct {
  ICONRESDIR Icon;
  CURSORDIR  Cursor;
  CURSORDIR  Planes;
  CURSORDIR  BitCount;
  CURSORDIR  BytesInRes;
  CURSORDIR  IconCursorId;
} RESDIR;

Fields BitCount, BytesInRes and IconCursorId must have other data type than CURSORDIR? Or it is not a mistake?
