Loads the contents of the object from a file
Source position: resource.pp line 270
public procedure TResources.LoadFromFile( |
aFileName: string |
); overload; |
aFileName: string; |
aReader: TAbstractResourceReader |
); overload; |
aFileName |
|
The name of file to read from |
aFileName |
|
The name of file to read from |
aReader |
|
The reader to use to read the file |
This method clears the TResources object and loads its contents from the file passed as parameter.
If a reader is specified, that reader is used. Otherwise, the file is probed to find a suitable reader.
| Remark: | If CacheData is set to true, the file will be left open and used as the underlying stream of each resource RawData stream. This means that the file will be open until the TResources object is cleared or is loaded again from a different source. If you want the file to be closed while there are still resources, disable the copy-on-write mechanism by setting CacheData property to false. |
Sample code
This code extracts resources from an exe file
var resources : TResources; begin resources:=TResources.Create; resources.LoadFromFile('myexe.exe'); resources.WriteToFile('myexe.res'); resources.Free; end;
If no reader is passed and probing fails, an EResourceReaderNotFoundException exception is raised.
