If each image is the same size, then create an image that has all of the images in one strip.
Place a TImageLIst on your form and set the height and width property that each individual
image is. For example, if you have a strip that is 64 x 16 and each image
is 16 x 16, the strip contains 4 images, each of which is 16 wide and 16
tall, so set the imagelist height and width to 16.
Next include the resource file in the appropriate unit, i.e. {$R
MYIMGS.RES}
Then, in your code, Load the images in the imagelist as follows.
MyImageList.ResourceLoad(r
if MyImageList.Count=0 then
MessageDlg('Could not load My Image List',mtError,[mbOK],0);
Note: clBlue is the background color to be used for transparency purposes .
Now you have a TImageList with your images,
You can step through the imageList and display the images 1 at a time
step through the images int he list, and display them in a TImage component
for I:= 0 to ImageList.Count-1 do
begin
MyImageList.GetBitmap(I, MyImage.Picture.Bitmap)
//maybe add somedelay here using TTimer, thread, or even just the Sleep function
end;

Well, you never said anything about a DLL....
Anyway, they are in a resource file compiled in the DLL right?
(You already of the code to load the DLL right? OR No
If so, you can use the same code.
change
MyImageList.ResourceLoad(r
to
MyImageListResInstLoad(<HA
CLASSIMAGES is an example name of what you called your images in the Resource file
You should have one image like i described above, called CLASSIMAGES or whatever you want to call it.

i have 33 images(bitmap) and still i cant understand u.
i do this code but no response:-
mydll := LoadLibrary('resdll.dll');
if mydll=0 then
raise Exception.Create('Cannont load resource library. Please check if RESONLY.DLL is in the application''s folder');
imagelist2.ResInstLoad(myd
i do this code but no response:-
mydll := LoadLibrary('resdll.dll');
if mydll=0 then
raise Exception.Create('Cannont load resource library. Please check if RESONLY.DLL is in the application''s folder');
imagelist2.ResInstLoad(myd
Ahhh, thats a good size image. They only way you can load the TIMageList with a ResInstLoad, is if you combine all the images into one image (in this case the size would then be 4125 X 125). IN your case, you would name it '1' and recompile the resource into your DLL.
Set your TImageList & TImage height & Widths to 125
mydll := LoadLibrary('resdll.dll');
if mydll=0 then
raise Exception.Create('Cannont load resource library. Please check if RESONLY.DLL is in the application''s folder')
else
imagelist2.ResInstLoad(myd

WHen the ImageList loads the 1 image in using ResInstLoad, it will automatically split the picture up into its 125 X 125 parts.

mydll := LoadLibrary('resdll.dll');
if mydll=0 then
raise Exception.Create('Cannont load resource library. Please check if RESONLY.DLL is in the application''s folder');
imagelist2.ResInstLoad(myd
ImageList2.GetBitmap(0, Image1.Picture.Bitmap)
still no picture in image1
if mydll=0 then
raise Exception.Create('Cannont load resource library. Please check if RESONLY.DLL is in the application''s folder');
imagelist2.ResInstLoad(myd
ImageList2.GetBitmap(0, Image1.Picture.Bitmap)
still no picture in image1
try
var
bmp: TBitmap;
imagelist2.ResInstLoad(myd
bmp:= TBitmap.Create;
ImageList2.GetBitmap(0, bmp);
Image1.Picture.Bitmap.Assi
bmp.Free;

bmp: TBitmap;

first, make sure your imagelist is getting the image from the DLL
mydll := LoadLibrary('resdll.dll');
if mydll=0 then
raise Exception.Create('Cannont load resource library. Please check if RESONLY.DLL is in the application''s folder')
else
begin
imagelist2.ResInstLoad(myd
ShowMessage(IntToSTr(image
end;
SHane
GetInstRes loads a particular bmp from the resource file into the imagageList.
GetBitmap gets a particular bitmap from an index in the imagelist and places it in the variable
example - ImageList2.GetBitmap(0, bmp); gets the first image and assignes it to bmp

Shane
ok, if your using
imagelist2.ResInstLoad(myd
that means you have a resource file with an image in there called '1'.
Not with an ID of 1, a name called '1' (a string name)
Is this correct?

if your app is not huge, i would entertain the thought of you zipping it up and mailing it to me and i would take a look at it for you.
you would also have to include the image and the DLL source

dll source is:-
{$O+,D-,L-,M-,Y-,R-,Q-,U-}
library resDLL;
{$R myclock.res}
