Component icons
« on: March 31, 2015, 10:31:04 am »
Hi, 

How do I go about adding component icons to my components, to use at design time?

Thanks,
Jonathan

Are you asking how to have your component display an icon as well as text at runtime, or are you asking how to have your component display an icon other than the default icon in the IDE component palette when registered and installed ... or asking something else?

The latter. I'm new to Lazarus and I'm porting my components over from Delphi, and I've got them to install but they just have the default icons at design time.

You must create resource file, and icons must be in order you register your components.

Same as in Deplhi? I have a resource file that works in Delphi, how do I declare it for Lazarus?
