Requirements for Resources
Windows Portable Devices defines the following resource categories as PROPERTYKEY values. These values are used to describe individual resources in an object. The pid member of the property key can be different to describe different resources of the same type for all types except WPD_RESOURCE_DEFAULT, which can only describe one resource. The linked description page for each resource type lists the attributes supported by that resource.
| Resource PROPERTYKEY | Description |
|---|---|
| WPD_RESOURCE_DEFAULT | Specifies the whole file behind the object. This is the only required resource for any object with a resource. |
| WPD_RESOURCE_ALBUM_ART | Specifies an image that represents the album artwork for the object. |
| WPD_RESOURCE_AUDIO_CLIP | Specifies an audio clip for the object. |
| WPD_RESOURCE_CONTACT_PHOTO | Specifies an image that represents a photo of the individual referred to in the contact object. |
| WPD_RESOURCE_GENERIC | A generic resource of undefined data type. This should be treated as a byte array. |
| WPD_RESOURCE_ICON | An icon. |
| WPD_RESOURCE_THUMBNAIL | A thumbnail image. |
