Description

Build a resource list from the specified file.

FUNCTION BuildResourceListN(
               type           :INTEGER;
               fullPath       :DYNARRAY[] of CHAR;
               VAR numItems   :LONGINT) : LONGINT;

def vs.BuildResourceListN(type, fullPath):
    return (LONGINT, numItems)

Parameters

type		INTEGER		the type of resource to put in the list
fullPath		DYNARRAY[] of CHAR		The path to the file that provides the resources.
numItems		LONGINT		the number of items in the list built

Remarks

_c_, (2016.02.29): It supports also posix paths on mac ("/"). It can't be used to retrive the resources in the active document.

Here some usage examples:

resID := 127; { wall styles }
pathID := 113; { Wall ~ Slabs folder }
path := Concat(GetFolderPath(pathID), 'Walls~Slabs Styles Metric.vwx'); { pick a file within the shipped default content }

list := BuildResourceListN(resID, path, cnt); { chosen document }
list := BuildResourceListN2(resID, GetFPathName, cnt); { WARNING: it always returns zero }
