Include a JPEG in your EXE file

- Create a resource script file MyPic.RC with Notepad and add the following line:
1 RCDATA "Pic.jpg"
- Then use Borland's Resource Compiler BRCC32.EXE (a commandline tool)
to compile it into a .RES file:BRCC32 MyPic.RC
- Add a compiler directive to the source code of your program.
It should immediately follow the form directive, as shown here:{$R *.DFM} {$R MyPic.RES}

procedure LoadJPEGfromEXE; var MyJPG : TJPEGImage; // JPEG object ResStream : TResourceStream; // Resource Stream object begin try MyJPG := TJPEGImage.Create; ResStream := TResourceStream.CreateFromID(HInstance, 1, RT_RCDATA); MyJPG.LoadFromStream(ResStream); // What!? Yes, that easy! Canvas.Draw(12,12,MyJPG); // draw it to see if it really worked! finally MyJPG.Free; ResStream.Free; end; end; // procedure | ||
