TResResourceReader.Load procedure

Declaration

procedure Load(aResources: TResources; aStream: TStream); override

Description

Not described here; this is what TAbstractResourceReader.Load says of it:

Loads resources from a stream

A TResources object invokes this method when it needs to be loaded from a stream, passing itself as the aResources parameter and the stream as the aStream parameter.

aStream position is already correctly set: the reader must start to read from there.

Descendant classes must ensure that the the stream is in a format they recognize, otherwise an EResourceReaderWrongFormatException exception must be raised.

Each resource is then created, read from the stream and added to the TResources object.

When reading a resource, a reader must:

• Create the resource via TResourceFactory.CreateResource class method with the correct type and name.

• Set at least the following resource properties:

  • DataSize, via SetDataSize method.
  • DataOffset, via SetDataSize method. This is the offset of the resource data from the beginning of the stream.
  • RawData. The reader must create a TResourceDataStream object and assign it to the resource via SetRawData method.
