RGetResource

Read a resource; get its handle

#include <Resources.h> Resource Manager

ResType rType ; Resource type, (e.g., 'FONT')

short rID ; ID of desired resource

returns a handle leading to resource data

This works just like GetResource, except that it searches for the specified

resources among all open resource files before looking in ROM.

rType is a 4-byte ResType value. It identifies the resource type you want

read into memory (e.g., 'FONT', 'WIND', etc.)

rID is the resource identifier, as defined in the resource file. For

application programs, the convention is to use positive values higher

than 127.

Returns: a handle leading to the resource data. A return value of NIL indicates

an error - either the resource can not be found or it will not fit into

memory. See ResError.

Notes: Please refer to GetResource for detailed information. RGetResource

works with the Mac Plus, as long as it's using at least System 4.1.
