Delphi : How to read image from ".res file", not the embedded resource
delphi
Solution
The open-source XN Resource Editor (written in Delphi) contains the necessary code to do this (as well as read/edit resources from executables, DLLs, OCX modules etc). You'll be able to pull what you need from that!
Problem
Does anyone know how to read an image from .res file on disk, using a Delphi program? Please note that i'm asking about reading an image from .res file on disk, and not about embedding resources to Delphi Application and read a resource file linked into an executable. I mean : - Filename and path to a .res file on disk, open the .res file and decode it enough to... - Locate the Image. - Load the image not something like this : ``` {$R resfile.res} blablabla.LoadFromResourceName(HInstance, 'IMAGE_NAME'); ``` Thank you for advanced help.
