Parameter	Description
Instance	The instance handle associated with the executable or shared library that contains the resource (e.g. HInstance for the current application)
ResName/ResID	The name or ID associated with resource
ResType	The type of the resource as defined when it was created, e.g. RT_BITMAP for a bitmap resource, or RT_RCDATA for raw data

Examples

// Load the About Box image from a JPEG resource in the current application
MainForm1.ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.LoadFromResource( HInstance, 'AboutImage', RT_RCDATA, ioJPEG );

// Load the About Box image from a bitmap resource in the current application
MainForm1.ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.LoadFromResource( HInstance, 'AboutImage', RT_BITMAP, ioBMP );

// Get a toolbar button image from the ImageEn resources
Bitmap.LoadFromResource( HInstance, ITBRES_PROMPTTOSAVE_24 , RT_RCDATA, ioPNG );
if not isEnabled then
Bitmap.ConvertToGray();

// Get a bright red image
Bitmap.LoadFromResource( HInstance, ITBRES_COLOR_PALETTE_24, RT_RCDATA, ioPNG );
proc := TImageEnProc.CreateFromBitmap( Bitmap );
proc.HSVvar( 150, 10, 30 );
proc.Free();
