Re: Add my own bitmaps into a resource file?

Somebody wrote:

Hello,

I want to use a resource file to load my own bitmaps. Previously I have been using loadfromfile but want to get away from that.

However, I can set up the resource file but it only appears to let me create a new bitmap. I already have some ready but just can't see the option to add them. Is it possible? Thanks.

I have the version 3.0 Image editor.




Hmm.
In the past, I've used the Resource compiler to create a *.RES
then in the main program at the top I use {$R name.res}.
the Resource file it self is just a text file.

NAME RTBITMAP file path to find it.

using the BRC32 in the Bin directory of delphi.

use the /? on it first to get a list of commands.
etc..
that's one way
some where along the line, Borland allowed you to
create a resource script file and then you simply
added to your project.

In your program, you then would need to use something
like the FindResource, LoadResource etc...
Or use a bitmap function to loadfromResource.
ect.
