Lazarus Resources where the resources that were used before FPC
supported resources itself. So kick out the LResources unit and change
the call to:
=== code begin ===
res := TResourceStream.Create(HInstance, 'PIX2', 'BITMAP');
try
Image1.Picture.LoadFromStream(res);
finally
res.Free;
end;
=== code end ===
If you know the file extension (e.g. you don't allow the users to put in
a PNG resource while your default one is a BMP resource) you could also
use LoadFromStreamWithFileExt instead.

[Lazarus] Resources
Hi All!
I have been trying to use a resource file (mydata.rc) to include some
bitmap images in an app but with no success. For simplicity, I have
pared the rc file to a single line:
pix2 BITMAP /home/mydir/Desktop/myapp/2.bmp
I have the following lines in my main unit:
{$R *.lfm} // the original
{$R mydata.rc}
mydata.rc is being compiled. It generates lib/x86_64-linux/mydata.res
as expected.
I can see the following in the compiled lib/x86_64-linux/mydata.res file
using od
B nul I nul T nul M nul A nul P nul
and
P nul I nul X nul 2 nul
followed by the header of a bitmap image, so I am pretty sure that the
resource compiler (windres) is working correctly.
When I try to load the bitmap using:
Image1.Picture.LoadFromLazarusResource('PIX2'); // Tried 'pix2' as well
I constantly get Resource pix2 not found.
I put some diagnostics in LResources.pp and I can see other resources
being found, and pix2 being sought but it never finds a resource from
the mydata.res file.
It appears that whatever (I'm guessing here) has to be done to include
the resources from mydata.res into the executable is not happening.
I am using Lazarus V 1.1, and FPC V 2.6.2
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Don Ziesig
P.S. I started with PNG graphics and ended up with BMP only because
that seemed to be the least common denominator in the all of the docs I
could find.

Re: [Lazarus] lazarus resources
Each class can only read 1 format.
btnAdd.Glyph is a TBitmap and therefore reads only bitmaps. But you
can first read to a PNG and then use Assign to convert to a bitmap.
Try doing it like this:
var
MyPNG: TPortableNetworkGraphic;
begin
MyPNG := TPortableNetworkGraphic;
MyPNG.LoadFromLazarusResource('edit_add');
btnAdd.Glyph.Assign(MyPNG);
MyPNG.Free;

Hm, I admit that it is even written in bold red text. Still, I missed that.
I remember that .lrs removal was rather well executed -- you have even
specifically asked me to convert TAChart.
But this issue was much more sneaky.
The problem is that previosly we added to the project unit the next string
(if resources were used):
{$IFDEF WINDOWS}{$R projectname.rc}{$ENDIF}
Now we add the next string instead:
{$R *.res}
Hm, so should I take the patch from the bug report as is
(it just deletes $IFDEF line), or should I add $R line instead?
I have just verified that all projects compile fine without $R --
is it really needed?
We can add the code to IDE to replace old resource directive with the new
one but what to do if developer added it by intention?
IDE is already capable of messing up developer's changes to .lpr file,
so I do not think adding one more case will make it any worse.
Of course, the optimal plan would be to add specific diagnostics
for this error, and let developer fix it himself.

Josh,
You can store a resource file on your exe by compiling a resource from
a file via this tool ( http://lazarusbrasil.org/Resources.zip ) and
adding the line {$R ResName.res} to your project.
Then you can call the resource by name so:
var
ResStr :TResourceStream;
begin
ResStr := TResourceStream.Create(hInstance, ResName, ResType);
try
ResStr.SaveToFile(FileName');
finally
ResStr.Free;

[Lazarus] Lazarus Resources
I am now very confused. I have been told by someone on Lazarus Forums that to
write an installer, I would need to use Resources. I have done some research
into resources, and got this:Resource (Windows)From Wikipedia, the free
encyclopedia
In Microsoft Windows, resources are read-only data embedded in EXE, DLL, CPL or
(beginning with Windows Vista) MUI files.
The Windows API provides for easy access to all applications' resources.
[edit]TypesEach resource has a type and a name, both being either numeric
identifiers or strings.
Windows has a set of predefined resource types:
Cursor and animated cursorIconBitmapDialog box templateFontHTML documentString
and message templateVersion
data-
So it seems that I cannot store a FILE in a resource.
All I wish to do is make a simple installer that installs an .exe onto the
user's hard disk.
Thank you for the link, Mattias. It seems the page has been updated since I
last saw it.
This is the code for my installer so far:procedure
TMainForm.InstallButtonClick(Sender:
TObject);beginStatusMemo.Append('Attempting to retrive file...');CRes :=
LazarusResources.Find('test');StatusMemo.Append('test resource found.');{So
what do I do here to get the .exe stored in the resource(Compiled with Lazres)
and place it on the users hard disk?}...

code?Thanks in advance,- JoshPS. Sorry for the repeated posts, I'm having time

Right, so if I followed the Wiki, Data would contain a string? What would the
string be?
Can resources only contain one piece of data?
What would saving a string to a file accomplish?

[Lazarus] Lazarus Resources (2)
Hello people. I've managed to compile a Lazarus resource, test.lrs. It has cmd.exe in it (I think!), and I'm trying to make a (useless) stand-alone program that takes the cmd.exe from the resource and places it in C:\. I've tried, and failed, and the Lazarus wiki doesn't explain it very well. Could someone please supply some documented sample code that does this? Thanks in advance, - Josh -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus

Josh, I don't know much about resources, but: - What OS? In Win Vista or 7 you may not be allowed to write to C:\ - Is there an error message? John Josh Lee wrote: Hello people.
