create a text file.
call it bitmaps.rc (for examples sake)
add the following
MYBITMAP BITMAP c:\mybitmap.bmp
Where MYBITMAP will be the name to reference to load the bitmap in your app
and c:\mybitmap.bmp is
the location of the bitmap file.
compile your bitmaps.rc file with brcc32.exe (found in the bin directory
under delphi install path).
compile it (brcc32 bitmaps.rc)
You will get a bitmaps.res file. Now include it into your application
using the $R compile directive. {$R bitmaps.res}
You can then load the resource by name MYBITMAP.
Image editor can behave funny with 256 bitmaps.
It's a windows / color palette issue, or it could your display drivers
being out of date.
There is one particular graphics chipset that people seem to have all sorts
of issues with.
I can't remember it off the top of my head though.
Hope this was of some use...
