Load AVI from resource

[WojTec]

Just lame question, how to load AVI from resource of another file to TAnimate component? I have this and don't working:

Delphi-Quellcode:

var
  Handle: THandle;
begin
  Handle := CreateFile('C:\Windows\System32\shell32.dll', GENERIC_READ, FILE_SHARE_READ or FILE_SHARE_WRITE, nil, OPEN_EXISTING, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, 0);

  Animate1.ResHandle := Handle;
  Animate1.ResName := '165';
end;

Did you have had a look at the docs?

TAnimate.ResName

[WojTec]

Yes, this is resource name, aren't they? I checked that in this DLL sample AVI is identified by 165, and I don't know if it's numeric name or real integer

Delphi-Quellcode:

if StrToIntDef(ResName, -1) <> -1 then
  Animate.ResId := StrToInt(ResName)
else
   Animate.ResName := ResName
;

This still don't working

You have to get a ModuleHandle and not a FileHandle.

To do so load the library LoadLibrary and pass that handle to the component.
TAnimate Sample
(But first you have to set the handle and then the Id or Name)

Acha! Library handle, not file handle. This was main reason it want not to work. Thanks
