Put Anything In Your Delphi EXE!
by William A. Portillo - hall...@wantree.com.au
I don't know if this is useful stuff but after a couple of weeks of playing
with the resources side of Delphi, I ended up writing a routine that will
"extract" other files out of a Delphi EXE. I found this useful for
distributing little picture or sound files with the application or as a
setup program with internal files. No doubt many of you will find other
uses for this technique.
First, I create an RC project with NOTEPAD.EXE and ARJ.EXE in it as follows
(we'll call it RESJUNK.RC):
NOTEPAD EXEFILE C:\WINDOWS\NOTEPAD.EXE
ARJ EXEFILE C:\UTILS\ARJ.EXE
then I compile it with BRCC32 into a RES file. After this I include it in
my Delphi project by using the $R compiler directive like this:
{$R RESJUNK.RES}
and extract this files by using the TResourceStream class.
procedure ExtractRes(ResType, ResName, ResNewName : String);
var
Res : TResourceStream;
begin
Res := TResourceStream.Create(Hinstance, Resname, Pchar(ResType));
Res.SavetoFile(ResNewName);
Res.Free;
end;
