I have 3 .rcp files. I need to add 10 BITMAPFAMILYEX resources.
These will be the images for an application toolbar in the upper right of most main forms.
I am very very concerned that I may breach the single segment limit.
Resources specified in a RCP file so not count against your segment size, as they are stored in their own resources. They aren't considered program data or code.
3) Create a 4th .rcp file. Define the images once.
Use them in the other .rcp files?
How will I get PilRC designer to show them
in the dropdown of available image sources?
You can always edit your RCP files using a text editor. Start by just having the bitmap families in each file, then after you're done editing those RCP files, manually move the entries around to consolidate the text to one RCP file. Remember, the PilRC format is a little programming language, and is much more flexible than an editor like PilRC Designer can express.
