Create a Resource DLL (Windows)

  1. Create a resource script (.rc) file that defines your resources.
  2. Compile your .rc file with the resource compiler to create a .res file.
  3. Use the linker to create a DLL from the .res file, for example:
ILINK myres.res /DLL /OUT:resdll.dll

Your application can now use the operating system API to load the resource DLL and access the resources it contains.

Like other DLLs, resource DLLs must be in a directory specified in your PATH environment variable.
