Including .bmp's, .ico's in the compiled app?

[kaul125]

Someone posed a question to me regarding including icon and bitmap files with the compiled application.

The question was, how do I include icon files and bitmap files in my compiled app. where I don't need to ship those files to the client. I'm trying to eliminate the number of files I ship to the client.

If I compile the app with certain icon/bitmap files on my system and then ship the app. to my client without those files, will the app. display those file when they run the app.

My understanding of a PBR file is basically a text file for compilation to indicate where those files exist on your system. Is that Correct?

Hi,

Yep, you're correct. Here is an extremely handy tool for managing your pbr files:

Can't recommend it enough. Use it, then when building your app supply the files generated and you'll only ever need to deploy PB .dlls and your .exe + .pbds

Cheers.
