TResourceDesc class

A resource description (type or name)

Declaration

pascal

TResourceDesc = class

This class represent a resource description (type or name).

Resources are identified by a type, name and (optionally) a language ID.

Type and name can be either a name (a string identifier) or an ID (an integer identifier in the range 0..65535).

Unfortunately, name is used both to refer to a the name of the resource and both to the format of a resource description

Example:

Typically, a Windows executable has a main icon, which is a resource of type RT_GROUP_ICON (type is an ID) and name MAINICON (name is a name).

`Name`	public	The value of the resource description as a name
`ID`	public	The value of the resource description as an ID
`DescType`	public	The type of the resource description

`SetOwner`	protected	Protected method to let a resource set itself as owner of the TResourceDesc
`Create`	public	Creates a new TResourceDesc object
`Assign`	public	Assigns the contents of another TResourceDesc object to this one
`Equals`	public	Compares the contents of another TResourceDesc object to this one
