Linking an AVI-file
Jos Hermans
win95, vc5.0
I wan't to link an avi-file to an executable. My application shows a little
avi-file but i don't want to ship the executable with a separate avi-file
because everyone could change it easily. Is there a way to put it in the
resource file or something lik that?
Greetings, Jos.

yeah, you can add custom resources and it will link into the
executable. I'm assuming msvc.....
in 'Resource View' right click the header and choose 'Import', add your AVI
name typre resource type 'AVI' (or something), and give the resource an id
of
IDR_AVI (or something)...then in you code load it like:
/* hwAnim being a Handle to the Animate Control... */
SendMessage (hwAnim, ACM_OPEN, 0, (LPARAM) MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_AVI));
if you doing MFC then i imagine it would be something like:
/* m_pwndAnimate being a CAnimateCtrl pointer */
m_pwndAnimate->Open (IDR_AVI);
(i just started MFC last night....might be alittle different)
Hope i could help.

WHOOOPS!! Behold, and I will tell you a mystery: Your "(or something)" won't
work here. You HAVE TO use the name "AVI" for your resource, or it won't
play. (At first I named my resource "VIDEO", and I struggled for weeks
before I realized what was wrong! MS didn't bother to document this
properly, of course...)
Just thought I'd mention it!

Hi,You can add it to your resource if you choose "Import" in the Insert
resource dialog. If you display your avi-file using the CAnimateCtrl, its Open
function features either a filename or a resource-ID.
hope that helps,
Markus

Yes ! you must call your resource type "AVI" ! First I call it "AVIDATA" it
not work.
So I checked the example and it rc file not have the avi in.
When I open it *.res file I show it type is "AVI",so I changed my resource
file and call it "AVI" it worked !

I did it and it works fine as long as I'm using uncompressed files.
If I use compression the Open fails (although the AVI plays fine when
launched from the explorer).
What did I miss?

The animation common control doesn't like compression, or maybe it
likes only one flavor. Check the docs. If your not using the animation
common control, never mind.

Only RLE8 compression is supported, I believe. That's what I use and
it works fine.
