delphi non visual component image

delphi

Solution

You must create a .dcr file with the name of your unit in the same directory of the .pas component source file. then add to the dcr file a 24x24 bitmap called with the name of the component class something like TMyNonVisualComp.

finally you must add this line to the unit `{$R your_dcr_file.DCR}`
