How to include icons & bitmaps in EXE.

[HunterEC]

Hi guys:

I'm new to the Workshop (Borland). Can anyone tell me the steps on how to define icons & bitmaps to include them in my EXE?

Thank you.

Using BRW: File -> Add to project -> File type ICO or BMP.

Thank you Enrico. How can I include in the workshop icons & bitmaps created with other software ?

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

Following the steps I wrote in my last post you can select ICO or BMP files to add to your project.

Enrico:

I already have the icon & bitmaps as ico & bmp files. They were not created with the workshop. How can I import them into the workshop ? Is there any available tutorial(s) on using the workshop ?

Did you try File -> Add to project -> File type ICO or BMP?

Hello

To load and show a icon from disk as a exe-symbol
you have at first to save you resource as a RC-file.
Next open it with a editor and go to the end.
There you have to add the desired ICON from disk.

RESOURCE :


#ifdef __FLAT__
1 24 "WindowsXP.Manifest"
#endif

.....
.....

1 ICON "favorite.ico"


Favorite.ico showse a star as exe-symbol
The RC-file must be included to the RMK-file

The EXE-file shows a star as EXE-symbol
