How to add my icon to my created component in the component palette page?


Solution

  • To add icon to component you need to create dcr file using Delphi image editor.
    In image editor create bitmap 24x24 16 bit. Rename bitmap to your control name.
    Example: TMyCustomControl - TMyCustomControl (same name)
    Save dcr file in the folder where the package is with any name (example: Icon.dcr).
    Then open your package and right click -> View source.
    Add line :
    {$R 'The dcr filename'}
    In this case:
    {$R 'Icon.dcr'}
    Click Compile and Install.
    There you go. You have created your own component with icon. :)
