Declaration

procedure LoadFromResource(const ModulePath: WideString; const ResourceType: string; const ResourceName: string; FileType: TIOFileType = ioUnknown); overload;
procedure LoadFromResource(const ModulePath: WideString; const ResourceType: TIEResourceType; const ResourceIndex: Integer; FileType: TIOFileType = ioUnknown); overload;

Description

Loads the specified image resource from PE files like EXE, DLL, OCX, ICL, BPL, etc.

Parameter	Description
ModulePath	Specifies the path and filename of PE module
ResourceType	Resource type as string, e.g. 'Bitmap', 'Cursor' or 'RCData' (Case-insensitive)
ResourceName	Resource name as string, e.g. 'INTRESOURCE:100' or 'Hand' (Case-insensitive)
FileType	Specifies the file format of the image. If ioUnknown is specified, the format is detected automatically by reading the image header. ioUnknown cannot be used for BMP, ICO and CUR resources (as the format cannot be determined automatically)

Note:
◼Resources of images are usually: ietrBitmap, ietrCursor, ietrIcon, ietrRCData
◼ietrCursor and ietrGroupCursor will usually return the same resources, as will ietrGroupIcon and ietrIcon

// Load resource 143, of type "Bitmap", from "explorer.exe" (should be a small Windows logo)
ImageEnView1.IO.LoadFromResource('explorer.exe', 'Bitmap', 'INTRESOURCE:143', ioBMP);

// Load a PNG resource in the current EXE that have been defined in a resource file as follows:
// MYLOGO RCDATA "Logo.png"
ImageEnView1.IO.LoadFromResource( Application.ExeName, 'RCDATA', 'MYLOGO', ioPNG );

// Load the 5th resource of type "RCData" from current application
ImageEnView1.IO.LoadFromResource( Application.ExeName, ietrRCData, 5 );
