How do I create a resource from either a binary fine or a text file.
I have programs where load in text or binary information but I would
like to load them as resources.

EX:
for(int lp = 0; lp != end; lp++){
f.read((char*)&bitData[lp], sizeof(BYTE));
}

or:
ifstream f ("table.txt");
if (! f.is_open()){
MessageBox(NULL, "Can't Load the Table!", "Error!", MB_OK); }

for(int l2 = 0; l2 != 8; l2++){
for(int l1 = 0; l1 != 8; l1++){
if(cfill(f, num)){
t[l2][l1] = num;
}
}
}
f.close();

I don't know the details of the rc file structure, but you can add
entries that import a file when it is compiled.

You can then use FindResource and friends to access the data at runtime.

If your IDE doesn't manage this for you, and you need to edit rc file
manually it's something like:

IDR_BIN1 BINARY DISCARDABLE "file.bin"


(you need to define IDR_BIN1 somewhere, usually in resource.h file)

point = new graphic(IDR_BINTYPE, hinstance);

Thanks, I had tried that but it says my IDR_BINTYPE has not been
defined in this section and it is in my main function and had to put
this above the statement for it to compile:

#define IDR_BINTYPE 500

Thanks, I have been working with this code for a while, I think I have
the internals working fine but still a BINARY type is not working. I
am using DEV C++ and it does not recognize BINARY.

When I use:
#define IDR_BIN 500
IDR_BIN BINARY DISCARDABLE "pointer.bin"

Do I have to define something special for BINARY? If I do I can't
find the resources to do that. I can load and save from a binary file
but loading as a resource is getting fustrating.

It won't seem to load in the Binary data to IDR_BIN
