*.bmp files used to produce *.res???

Yes - you only need the original BMP's to compile the RES file - not when you are running the program and using something like: image1.picture.bitmap.load<wbr />fromresour<wbr />ce(...); &nbsp;Or whatever.

When I create &nbsp;images with Delphi image editor and save them as Pictures.res<br />
(and add {$R Pictures.res} to my<br />
application),does this mean that Delphi has embedded the pictures into my applications and that I can delete the<br />
actual pictures themselves?<br />
Meaning,that I do not have to ship them with my application if I run my application on another computer?<br />
Also I would like to know if you have to declare *.res on every Form in the application or just on the Main Form?<br />
Thank you!<br />
