Hello Yam,

I guess you mean 'including' an image file in your executable file so that it is not necessary to place the image file itself aside the application.

PureBasic proposes IncludeBinary command to do so.

For example if you have an image file Image.bmp you would like to include in your executable, you can add such commands in your source code :

ImageID = CatchImage(1, ?MyImageFile)
ImageGadget(901, 0, 0, 600, 38, ImageID1)

; ... at the end of your source code

MyImageFile:
IncludeBinary "Image.bmp"

Such code means you include the binary content of the file when compiling inside the executable file, and the compiler will use this binary code as an array when load the image by CatchImage. Then you have just to use this catched image later in you app.

Hope this help.
