Icons on component palette
Torben Amtrup
succeded creating the component package, which appears in the palette, and I
can use the components in a program. But I have a problem with the icons, so
Delphi uses default icons.
In the Delphi Image editor I have created five bitmaps (let's call them TA1,
TA2, ... TA5) with the same names as the components in the .pas-file (the
registred names). The file is saved under the name Aunit, the same name as
the unit in the .pas-file, that contains the component type declarations and
registrer proceure. The file Aunit.dcr is saved in the folder projects\bpl,
which also contains the .bpl-file.
My problem is, that the icons don't show on the palette at all. Delphi still
shows the default icons.
The problem was first with Windows XP an now with Windows Vista, so it is
probably not due to Windows.
What did I do wrong?

Did you name the bitmaps in all caps?

Do you have a {$R Aunit.dcr} statement in the unit source code?

It can't find the DCR.

Isn't it common to have the {$R Aunit.dcr} in the .dpk file?

Either way. As long as the statement is somewhere in the project.
