Declaration

Source position: graphics.pp line 837

public procedure TGraphic.LoadFromResourceName(

  Instance: TLCLHandle;

  const ResName: string

); virtual;

Arguments

Instance

  

Handle where the content for the resource is stored.

ResName

  

Name for the resource loaded in the method.

Description

LoadFromResourceName is a procedure used to load a resource with the name specified in ResName using the handle provided in Instance. LoadFromResourceName calls GetResourceType to get the Integer resource type used in the class instance. No actions are performed in the method when the TResourceType value is unassigned (contains Nil).

LoadFromResourceName creates a temporary TResourceStream that is used to load the content for the class instance by calling the LoadFromStream method.

Use LoadFromResourceID to load a resource by its Resource ID.

Use LoadFromLazarusResource to load a Lazarus resource from a .lrs file with a give name.

Version info

Modified in LCL version 4.0 to use the TLCLHandle type instead of the deprecated THandle type in the Instance parameter.
