You can add bitmaps to DLL, not to EXE, or you can use them as separate BMP files, by calling TImage.Picture.LoadFromFil<wbr />e('MyPictu<wbr />re.bmp');<br />

You can also include them in a Resource file which I think is the best way since no one can exchange your bitmaps....Otherwise if you load the bitmaps from a file someone can change the bitmap and just change the name to be as the previous....<br />

bitmaps make my executable huge.
