Loading a bitmap from a resource

[Useless Hacker]

I am trying to load a 256-colour bitmap into a TImage component from a resource. This is my code:
[pascal]Image.Picture.Bitmap.LoadFromResourceName(HInstanc e, 'MYBITMAP');[/pascal]
However, this raises an EResNotFound exception. I have checked that my application has {$R *.res}, and there most definately is a bitmap called 'MYBITMAP'. Can anyone see what could be going wrong?

Dont' use {$R *.RES}, use {$R ResourceFileName.res}. Don't ask me why, it's some kinda bug or something. But using the exact filename seems to remedy the problem.

Sorry to ask this, but are you sure that you've included the resource file properly?

Bear in mind that *.res includes a resource file with the same filename, but different extension, to the current unit. In other words, if your unit is "my_unit" then it would include "my_unit.res". It doesn't include every resource file in the directory, as you might have thought...

The resource file is just the application resource file, as in the one included in the project source file (.dpr). I guess I could try putting it in a separate resource file for that unit.
