Resource

The Resource structure contains functions to load resources from a resource file.   In many cases there are functions in other structures which will load the appropriate item from the resource file.

structure Resource :

   datatype ResourceType =
        RT_CURSOR | RT_BITMAP | RT_ICON | RT_MENU | RT_DIALOG | RT_STRING | RT_FONTDIR |
        RT_FONT | RT_ACCELERATOR | RT_RCDATA | RT_MESSAGETABLE | RT_GROUP_CURSOR |
        RT_GROUP_ICON | RT_VERSION | RT_DLGINCLUDE | RT_ANICURSOR | RT_ANIICON |

    type HINSTANCE

    datatype RESID = IdAsInt of int | IdAsString of string
    val MAKEINTRESOURCE : int -> RESID
