Hi all,
I have a rather WEIRD problem that I have tracked down to a .RES file.
If any of you have a couple of minutes to try this I would appreciate it
as it does fail for me and I would like to know what it does for you.
1) Download the .RES file in question from (it is 2.5KB)
http://www.adrock.com/Delphi/Problems/Res/addatetm.res
2) Load up Delphi 2 or 3 or 4 or 5
3) Create a New Application
4) Change the Projects ICON, under Project-Options-Application, click the
Load ICon and load ANY icon that you have. DO NOT USE THE DOWNLOADED
VERSION.
5) Now goto Form1, and in the code you will see some lines like this
var
Form1: TForm1;
implementation
{$R *.DFM}
6) Add another line below the {$R *.DFM} line and add {$R ADDATETM.RES} so
that you end up with
var
Form1: TForm1;
implementation
{$R *.DFM}
{$R ADDATETM.RES}
7) Save the project somewhere
8) Copy the downloaded ADDATETM.RES file to the project directory and run
it.
When the MainForm loads do you get the Delphi default project icon (I
think it is from D2 or D3) or do you get the Icon that you used at step 4?
9) If it does show you the wrong icon then change the line {$R
ADDATETM.RES} to
{ $ R ADDATETM.RES}
This will comment it out, and then run it again.
Looking at the .RES File with Image Editor, and Microsoft Visual C++ there
are 5 Bitmap contained in there.
TADROCKDATETIMEEDIT_BITMAP
TADROCKDATETIMEEDIT_ARROW_BITMAP
TADROCKDATETIMEEDIT_1ARROW95_BITMAP
TADROCKDATETIMEEDIT_DATE_BITMAP
TADROCKDATETIMEEDIT_ARROW95_BITMAP
Can anyone explain to me what is going on here?, those bitmaps do not
contain a copy of the Delphi (2 or 3) defualt project icon, so where is it
coming from?
Thanks for your time, and please let me know the results.
Chris
