How to load a Bitmap from a resource?

[savage]

I just started exploring SDl and I was wondering if anybody has an idea how to load a bitmap onto an SDL_Surface from a resource?

Hi Paulis,
You will need to Load the Resource into a stream ( check this article to find out how http://community.borland.com/article...,16081,00.html ) and then use JEDI-SDL's LoadSDLBMPFromStream function which exists in SDLStreams.pas and returns a PSDL_Surface.

Remember to free your PSDL_Surface when you finish with them, to avoid memory leaks.
