PSoft EAN components and Report Builder

rbuser

Hi,

Just a question out of interest rather than one of vital importance.... , we
use the PSoft barcode library components which integrate into Report Builder
all good, but, I was wondering if it is possible to have decent icons appear
for the RBEan and RBDBEAN components in the Report Designer. They seem to
install with the default Delphi Component icons (i.e. the
square/circle/triangle image).

TIA

Including icons a simple matter of including some images in a .res file. The
image names should be the same as the component class names. You might want
to contact PSoft and ask them to enhance to their RB support by creating
some nice component images.

For an example, check out the Demos\RCL folder which contains the source
code to the sample checkbox component installed with RB. Open the
myChkBox.pas unit and find the implementation section (I have copied it
below). The myChkBox.res file is installed to the same folder and can be
opened with a resource editor. Open myChkBox.res and you will find images
with the same name as the component class names: TmyCheckBox, TmyDBCheckBox
along with a couple of mask images: TmyCheckBoxMask, TmyDBCheckboxMask.


implementation

{include resource file containing bitmap used to represent component in the
Report Designer}
{$R myChkBox.res}
