It is quite easy and the pilrc website has a very nice and easy-to-understand manual. Please read it at http://www.pilrc.com.
One example here: BITMAP ID 1234 "mybitmap.bmp". You can also specify bitmap family, which is a collection of bitmaps with different depth. Again, read the manual to find out more. Basically, the generated pdb file is actually a resource database. Each bitmap will be a resource with type and ID. All you need to do in your program is to open the database and find the resource record by the type and resource ID. After that, you can use the bitmap the same way as you do with the bitmaps included in your app. Max --- averoes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > i think my app is too big because > without the bitmaps : 40 Ko > with bitmaps : 400 Ko !!!
