PocketMatrix

Can a Pocket PC application update its own resources using BeginUpdateResource, UpdateResource, and EndUpdateResource APIs as described here:



What I experience, is that the call to BeginUpdateResource fails. Is this because the application is running? I can't really tell because GetLastError returns 0.

Is it possible for an application to update its resources? How?

I might be wrong, but I seem to remember having read that you can't update resources on PPC. But then you have to wonder why the API is there. Mmm.

I'm remembering the same thing as Thierry... I think in the one instance it came up for me, I had to copy the resource before I could modify it at all. Let us know if you find out differently though...

OK thanks! Next time I rewrite this code, I'll give memory mapped files a try. Right now I just load them into memory, since they're relatively small anyways.
