MAKEINTRESOURCE macro

Applies to: desktop apps only

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

Copy

LPTSTR MAKEINTRESOURCE(
  WORD wInteger
);

Parameters

wInteger: The integer value to be converted.

Return value

The return value is the specified value in the low-order word and zero in the high-order word.

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.
