Images into DLL

[Badara Thiam]

Hello,

I don't know how to create DLL with only images inside.

Is there a sample in FWH package ?

Hi Mr.Badara,

The following is the code of my RC2DLL.BAT

Code: Select all  Expand view

rem RC file to 32 bits resources DLL
bcc32 -c c:\fwh\dll\screen32.c
brc32 -r %1.rc
ilink32 /Tpd c:\bcc55\lib\c0d32.obj screen32.obj, %1.dll,,c:\bc55\lib\cw32.lib c:\bcc55\lib\import32.lib,, %1.res
echo done!


A) Place your Images in the RC file using any text editor as under

Example :

Code: Select all  Expand view

    CARA1 BITMAP FILE "C:\FWH\BITMAPS\CARA1.BMP"
    CARA2 BITMAP FILE "C:\FWH\BITMAPS\CARA2.BMP"
    CARA3 BITMAP FILE "C:\FWH\BITMAPS\CARA3.BMP"
     ...
     ...


or from any resource editor like Borland Resource Workshop.

B) Save the .RC file

C) Then call the above RC2DLL.BAT <yourfile.rc>
You will get the YOURFILE.DLL

D) Use the YOURFILE.DLL in your application with the following call.

Code: Select all  Expand view

    SET RESOURCES TO "YOURFILE.DLL"
   

Hope my explation will help you.

You have complete freedom to have any type of resource in the DLL. It is upto you if you want only images in the DLL.
