Hello coders

I want to add more than one icon to my project to use the index number
(1, 2, ...) in the Windows Registry
but would like to know if it possible to do this.

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i //i.e. to
call second icon index from Registry@%ProgramFiles%\My
Project\Application.exe,-1
See attached image.

Many thanks

create an .rc file with all the icons you want to be included in your
application and {$R myicons.rc} in your application code somewhere and
they will be included.

PS. RC is a text script that describes the resources to be included in
your exe search for the format and commands in the online microsoft
documentation.

Hi!

Forget about the registry, that neverending trouble.

Either you use a resource file like eljo said or you save your icons
in a TImageList.
The later was discussed here:

What I did before was creating an icon dll that is never loaded by my
application but it just stores the icons. From registry is used like
an exe.

To create that you need an .rc file containing all the icons.

That's all this is the right answer
