If you want to obtain (localized) names of Unicode characters, instead calling this function you can also load strings from the same place the function loads them. On Windows 7 it means from file \System32\{Culture}\getuname.dll.mui. ({Culture} is name of culture you want to obtain localized resources for e.g. en-US). An advantage of this approach is that you can choose culture without need to switch current Windows language (Windows Ultimate edition only).

The hbmColor and hbmMask are pointers to unmanaged data and must be deleted after use. The following code will grab the icon info for a cursor handle and dispose of the unmanaged resources, if needed:

For loading icon-resource identified as integer ID

.

' For loading icon-resource identified as integer ID

.

C++/CLI: This solution allows you to load an image from an unmanaged resource in the assembly. In my case I added a .cur file to my .rc. The cursor had an ID of 101. After loading the cursor I assigned it to the Forms::Cursor.

.

To use integer resource ID instead of string, and avoid using MAKEINTRESOURCE, prepend the integer with '#'. For example, to use resource ID 32512, enter "#32512" for lpszName.

Summary

SQLFreeHandle frees resources associated with a specific environment, connection, statement, or descriptor handle.

SQLFreeStmt stops processing associated with a specific hstmt, closes any open cursors associated with the hstmt, discards pending results and, optionally, frees all resources associated with a statement handle.

Summary

Disposes card resources.

.

Summary

The routine releases the resources that the HID class driver allocated to hold a top-level collection's preparsed data.

.

Summary

This function creates, opens, or truncates a file, pipe, communications resource, disk device, or console. It returns a handle that can be used to access the object. It can also open and return a handle to a directory.

.

    ''' Releases all resources held by the current WaitEvent.

.

So the device ID is a very useful thing for software that wants to target just your device, e.g. copy protection, or to provide immutable identity to web service calls. Equally so it’s a resource that should be protected to mitigate the risk of identity theft.

.
