The function makes no assumption about the type of data in the buffer at the current position.

Interprets the data at the current buffer position as an array of leading byte count data and constructs a flat array of 16 bit descriptors.

Each descriptor in the descriptor array corresponds to an element of the resource array.

At the current buffer position, the buffer is expected to contain an array of data elements preceded by a TInt16 value defining the number of elements within that array.

Each element of the array is interpreted as:

a byte value defining the number of 8 bit text characters or the length of binary data (the resource string/binary data length is limited to 255 characters max)

followed by:

the 16 bit text characters.

The current position within the resource buffer is updated.

Do not use this explicit 16 bit variant when the resource contains binary data; use the explicit 8 bit variant instead. If the resource contains text, use the build independent variant ReadDesCArrayL().

The data is interpreted as:

a byte value defining the number of 16 bit text characters (the resource string/binary data length is limited to 255 characters max)

followed by:

Interprets the data within the specified resource buffer as an array of leading byte count data and constructs a 16 bit non modifiable pointer descriptor to represent an element within this array.

The function sets the buffer containing the resource data and sets the current position to the start of this buffer. Any buffer set by a previous call to SetBuffer() etc., is lost.

Moves the current buffer position backwards by the specified amount.

The method sets a new iAssertObj. If some method is called and something goes wrong - the method either will panics or asserts depending on iAssertObj state.

Sets the buffer containing the resource data.

The current position within the buffer is set to the start of the buffer so that subsequent calls to the interpreting functions, for example ReadInt8(), start at the beginning of this buffer.
