 |
|
I have a package "MyComponents" that contains "TMyComponent1",
"TMyComponent2", etc. I have added a bitmap, "MYBITMAP", to the
MyComponents.res file. If I understand the function of the res file its
contents is linked into the executable (bpl in this instance). So now
"MYBITMAP" is actually part of MyComponents.bpl.
At designtime I can access the bitmap using the following:
ABitMap->LoadFromReasourceName(__classid(TMyComponent1)), "MYBITMAP");
I add TMyComponent1 to a form and the Bitmap shows up. I then compile and
run the new application and I get the following error, "Resource
"MYBITMAP" not found".
Does "MyComponent.bpl need to be in a directory that is contained in a
search path? Or is there some other problem?
Thanks,

You should not put any custom resources into IDE-managed files. Create a
separate .res file instead and then add it to the package.

Correct.

LoadFromResourceName() expects a module instance handle, not a class meta
type. Use FindClassHInstance() to get the proper module handle:
ABitMap->LoadFromReasourceName(FindClassHInstance(__classid(TMyComponent1)),
"MYBITMAP");

If you are using dynamic linking, then yes. If you are using static
linking, then the BPI is compiled into the EXE directly and is not needed at
runtime at all.
