SetResourceSize

Set size of a resource (without writing data)

#include <Resources.h> Resource Manager

void SetResourceSize(theResource, size);

Handle theResource ; 4-byte ResType; resource type to get

long size ; size value

The SetResourceSize procedure sets the size of a resource without writing

data. You can change the size of any resource, regardless of the amount of

memory you have available. Note that if you make the resource smaller, you

lose any data at the end of that resource.

The parameter theResource is a handle that specifies the resource on disk. The

value of the size parameter is the size you want the resource to occupy on disk,

in bytes. If you set the size smaller than it was, you lose any data at the end of

the resource. If the size is set larger, all data is p reserved, but the enlarged

area is un initialized. Call ResError to check for errors.

If the disk is locked or full, or the file is locked, ResError returns the

appropriate file system error. If the resource is in memory, the

Resource Manager tries to set the size of the resource on disk. If the

attempt is successful, ResError returns the resourceInMemory result code

and does not update the copy in memory. If it is not successful, ResError

returns the appropriate file system error.

Returns: an Error Code. It will be one of:

resourceInMemory (-188) Resource already in memory

writingPastEnd (-189) Writing past end of file
