Hello Guys! Help me please! I need type image .jpg to screen from procedure from file .pp. How I can embed file .jpg into file .pp and type this image?

There are several ways to do it.

If you're using Lazarus, TImage and/or TImageList probably is the easiest.

If you're using FPC only, the easiest I think is use Resource File:

If you want to try something challenging, which I usually do. Write yourself a tool to convert the file into a hexstring, so you can copy it to a variable and regenerate it back to the picture at runtime in your program.

Hi
You can also include it into your source via an include-file (Option 3 in Handoko's post above), using this little BINTOINC utility from @KodeZwerg...

Better is to include it as a resource file (rc) and compile that to res and include the resource.

Code: Text  [Select][+][-]

1. #define IDR_MY_JPG 101
2.  
3. IDR_MY_JPG RCDATA "\path\to\your\image\image.jpg"

If you need a complete example, plz wait a few hours. I do not have all tools available here.
You can subsequently link the res file and use TImage.Picture.LoadFromResourceName. I have to test the jpg conversion, but I know that is easy, because I do it always like that. A bit of patience and a full example follows.
