Including (embedding) files such as graphics within the EXE

[tkruk]

Hi.

Sorry for my newbie question. But I can't seem to find the answer in
the forums (past postings).

Could someone provide an example how to embed or include
items such as graphics within the executable and then use it
in the program

OR

A way to have it in an external file like a PAK file (perhaps even encrypted) ala Blitz Basic.... and how to access it...

Thanks.

I've been using blitz3d and love PureBasic for apps because of the
small exe sites.. THANKS!!!

Use the IncludeBinary() and CatchImage()/CatchMovie()/etc commands. Or if you want to use the external PAK file approach, take a look at the Pack library.

Hi tkruk,

try this:

Code: Select all

If CatchImage(ImageNo,?pic): EndIf

If OpenWindow(0,50,50,520,520,#PB_Window_SystemMenu,""): EndIf
  CreateGadgetList(WindowID(0))
  ImageGadget(0,0,0,520,520,UseImage(pic))

  Repeat: Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
End

pic: IncludeBinary "C:\pic.bmp"

I'm sorry, when I write NY, I assume people will recognise
that it is New York. Not NYGERIA (or is it NIGERIA).

And Doesn't everyone know that Brooklyn is in New York,
which is in The USA.

I guess I am just silly. Sorry.
