Note: Since Lazarus v1.4.0, Lazarus has switched to .res format instead of .lrs; see Lazarus_1.4.0_release_notes. To create .res resource files you can use either lazres or winres
lazres is a lazarus resource tool to create and convert .rc, .lrs and .res files.
Lazres can be found as <root>/lazarus/tools/lazres.lpi and might need to be compiled. In Ubuntu installations lazres is precompiled and available in /usr/bin
Usage: lazres resourcefilename filename1[=resname1] [filename2[=resname2] ... filenameN=resname[N]]
lazres resourcefilename @filelist
To create a resource file MYRES.RES with two .bmp graphics files use:
lazres MYRES.RES MyImage1.bmp=IMG1 MyImage2.bmp=IMG2
A resource file can be of type:
| .RC | resource description file | plaintext | |
| .LRS | lazarus (pascal) resource | plaintext | |
| .RES | compiled resource | binary | default |
Using resources
.lrs
Include .lrs file in the initialization section
initialization
// .LRS files are plain-text pascal statements and need unit LResources to be included in the Uses clause
{$I MyResources.lrs}
end.
.res
Load .res file in the implementation section
implementation
// .RES files are binary resources and can be loaded
{$R MyResources.res}
var
img: TImage;
begin
img.Picture.Bitmap.LoadFromResourceName( hInstance, 'IMG1' );
end;
