 Posted: Thu Apr 29, 2004 5:11 am Post subject: TImageList: how to do this? |
 |
|
How do I take a bunch of images I have in a TImageList and place them into a
resource?
I don't want to lose the order because of menus and whatnot already being
setup to use certain indexes of it. Also, I wish to create another list to
load dynamically which has larger icons so I can use both if need be...I
think perhaps a resource file might be the best way?
Anyone have any opinions or options on this?
Thanks,
Lynn

If they're bitmaps, you can use the Image Editor that come
with BCB but it only supports 16bit (colors) bitmaps.

As you'll see, the order matters little since you reference
the image by name. I supose you could try something like:
String rcName;
for( int x = 0; x < Count; ++x )
{
rcName.sprintf("IMAGE%02d", x );
// load the resource "IMAGE01" using rcName.c_str()
}

To be clear, whether in a resource file or embedded TImageList,
they both endup as part of the executable.
