WinAPI Resource Editor

This project provides a set of functions for adding, reading, and verifying resources, making it easier to manipulate and manage custom data embedded in Windows executable files.

Key Features:

• Add Text Resources: Add custom text resources to an executable file. This function allows you to insert textual data, which can be useful for embedding configuration settings or other data.

• Read Embedded Text Resources: Retrieve and read text resources from the executable. This can be useful for extracting configuration data or other embedded information.

• Add Binary Resources: Add binary resources from external files to an executable. This supports embedding various types of binary data, such as images or other files.

• Extract Resources: Extract embedded resources from the executable to a file. This function supports extracting both text and binary resources, facilitating easy access to embedded data.

• Check Resource Existence: Verify if a specific resource exists within an executable. This function helps in validating the presence of resources before attempting to read or manipulate them.

• Self-Resource Handling: Special functions to manage and access resources embedded within the same executable file running the code.

Usage Examples

• Adding a Text Resource

AddTextResource("myapp.exe", "Sample Text", "RESOURCE_NAME");

• Reading a Text Resource

char output[256];
memset(output,'\0',sizeof(output));
ReadSelfResourceText("RESOURCE_NAME", output, sizeof(output));

• Adding a Binary Resource

AddResource("myapp.exe", "image.png", "RESOURCE_NAME");

• Extracting a Resource

ReadSelfResource("output.png", "RESOURCE_NAME");

• Read data from current executable resource, Then add resource to target file.

ReadSelfThenAdd("RESOURCE_NAME", "target.exe");

• Checking Resource Existence

ResourceExists("myapp.exe", "RESOURCE_NAME", RT_RCDATA);

or

ResourceSelfExists("RESOURCE_NAME", RT_RCDATA);

• Generate Random String

int length = 10;
char randomString[length]; 
generateRandomString(randomString,length); // Generate 9 random characters.
