Adding a binary file to resource in Visual Studio

Question

Please this might sound newbie - ish but I just couldn't get it to work since...

What is the steps to add a file (say file.exe) to resource in Visual Studio 2012 so that I can find the resource with FindResource(hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(idResource), MAKEINTRESOURCE(RC_BINARYTYPE));

Please I have tried Going to the Resource View and right clicking on the *.rc but I don't know how to add the RC_BINARYTYPE part

Answer 1

In VisualStudio 2015, MOHW's answer didn't help me but this worked:

program.rc file:

IDR_TIMS_FILE         RCDATA      "C:\\Users\\Tim\\Desktop\\Binary.dat"

program.cpp file:

src = FindResource(NULL, MAKEINTRESOURCE(id), RT_RCDATA);
