<div>
jkr, I figured it out.<br />
I needed to load animated GIF file from resource, and I had the code<br />
how to load it from disk (WINIMAGE.CPP by Juan Soulie), so I just used memcpy on the byte array to manually<br />
do what the ifstream does.<br />
<br />
I wanted to know if there was an easy way out, and you answered that.<br />
<br />
Thanks.

Need to get ifstream from resource.
I have this:

int LoadResource (UINT res, char * szres)
{
  ......
  HINSTANCE hInst = AfxGetResourceHandle(); 
  HRSRC hRsrc = ::FindResource(hInst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(res), szres);
  BYTE* lpRsrc = (BYTE*)LoadResource(hInst, hRsrc); 
  ......
}

How do I get ifstream from this? 


ifstream from resource

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
