Hi,

Is there any example available on how to include banks into the exe file as a resource in visual c++ ?

Kind regards,

Tom

I would use the Microsoft resources on how the embed and then access arbitrary external files in the resources.

You can look at the [System::loadBankMemory](http://www.fmod.org/documentation/#content/generated/FMOD_Studio_System_LoadBankMemory.html) for a simple way to load the data, or the **load\_banks** example which shows how to use the more powerful custom callbacks.
