short
| Parameter | Type | Description | |
| resFile | short | | File reference number of the file to access |
| kind | unsigned long | | Kind (4 Bytes type) of the resource to create |
| id | short | | Unique resource ID (or -1) |
| name | char* | | Resource name |

Description
The routine PA_CreateResourceFromHandle adds a resource of type kind and unique number ID to the resource file resFile. The resource will be filled with the data pointed to by resourceHandle.
If resFile is an invalid file reference number, the routine does nothing.
IMPORTANT NOTE
After the call, the handle belongs to the resource file. Do not dispose of it.
Example
Create a picture from a picture variable.
// Call it mPIC for "my picture". PICT is already used by 4D
#define kPictResourceType 'mPIC'
short PA_AddPictureInternalResource(short resFile, PA_Variable v, char *name)
{
short ID = -1;
PA_Handle h;
h = PA_GetPictureHandleVariable(v, 0L); // ignore PA_PictureInfo
if(h)
ID = PA_CreateResourceFromhandle(resFile, kPictResourceType, -1, name, h);
return ID; // Call PA_GetLastError() in the calling routine
}
