This is not a good question - we cannot work out from that little what you are trying to do.
Remember that we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind - we only get exactly what you type to work with.
So show us what you have tired, tell us what happened when you did, and tell us what help you need!

In order to find all resources of a type you need to enumerate the names in the type. See EnumResourceNamesA function (winbase.h) - Win32 apps | Microsoft Docs[^].
