GetIndType

GetIndType Get the ResType of a resource, given its index

#include <Resources.h> Resource Manager

void GetIndType(rType, index );

ResType *rType ; address of a 32-bit ResType variable

short index ; range: 1 to CountTypes();

GetIndType obtains the 4-byte ResType of a resource, given an

arbitrarily- defined index number.

rType is the address of a 4-byte ResType value. Upon return, it will

contain the resource type code associated with the resource identified

by index ; e.g., 'FONT', 'ICON', 'ICN#', etc. A value of 0 (four ASCII

NULs) indicates that index was an invalid value.

index is a positive integer. It should range from 1 to the total number of

distinct resources available (see CountTypes).

Notes: GetIndType is usually only needed by resource-management utilities

such as ResEdit. This function is the second step (following CountTypes)

in generating a list of all the different resource types, thus making it

possible to look up each individual resource.

Note: All the types obtained via this call are not necessarily available for

access. The "indexed ResType list" contains ALL resource types while calls

such as GetResource may search a subset of this list (i.e., the list of files

starting with the current resource file and working chronologically

backward toward the system file).

See CountTypes for an example of usage.
