[edit] Win32 Application Icon and Properties

1) Prepare the resource source files in the directory of your program:

File "version_data.rc":

1 VERSIONINFO
FILEVERSION 4,0,3,17
PRODUCTVERSION 3,0,0,0
FILEFLAGSMASK 0
FILEOS 0x40000
FILETYPE 1
{
 BLOCK ”StringFileInfo”
 {
  BLOCK ”040904E4”
  {
  VALUE ”CompanyName”,”JSC TashkentP”
  VALUE ”FileDescription”,”The main program file”
  VALUE ”FileVersion”,”0.9a”
  VALUE ”InternalName”,”ARM Podpiska”
  VALUE ”LegalCopyright”,”JSC TashkentP’s property”
  VALUE ”OriginalFilename”,”podpiska.pas”
  VALUE ”ProductName”,”The program for ARM Podpiska”
  VALUE ”ProductVersion”,”0.9a”
  }
 }
}

File ”icon_data.rc”:

AppIcon ICON ”app_icon.ico”

where ”app_icon.ico” is 128x128 24bit ICO image. You may use any size at your favour ( usually depends on preferrable destop resilution/size ) commonly greater or equal to 24x24 pixels.

My favorite editor to prepare such ( and any kind of image ) files is ”Embellish”.

2) From within Win-32 command shell, complile the prepared files with the supplied FPC resource compiler :

3) use the compiled resources in your application :

 
program super_puper;
 
{$ifdef FPC}{$mode objfpc}{$h+}{$INTERFACES CORBA}{$endif}
{$ifdef FPC}
 {$ifdef mswindows}
  {$apptype console}
 {$endif}
{$endif}
uses
 {$ifdef FPC}{$ifdef linux}cthreads,{$endif}{$endif}msegui,mseforms,
 main,dmmain,dmprint, dmacnt1, dmf18,dmrefs,
 connsetupform,mseconsts,mseconsts_ru,mseconsts_uzcyr;
 
// importing the compiled resources
 
{$ifdef mswindows}
 {$R version_data.res}
 {$R icon_data.res}
{$endif}
 
begin
 setlangconsts('ru');
 application.createdatamodule(tdmmainmo,dmmainmo);
 application.createdatamodule(tdmprintmo, dmprintmo);
 application.createdatamodule(tdmacnt1mo, dmacnt1mo);
 application.createdatamodule(tdmf18mo, dmf18mo);
 application.createdatamodule(tdmrefsmo, dmrefsmo);
 application.createform(tmainfo,mainfo);
 application.run;
end.
 

That's all at the moment.
