Custom component Resource PRINTFORM not found

[Stano 143]

I spent half a day on it. He keeps telling me that "Resource PRINTFORM not found". I tried all the options. Even without rc. The error did not disappear. I'm already desperate

package JasotComponents;
{$R *.res *.rc}
{$R JasotComponents.res JasotComponentsResource.rc}
{$R JasotComponents.res JasotComponents.rc}   
...

Most probably something wrong with JasotComponents.res or JasotComponentsResource.rc. Unfortunately we have no access to those files to inspect.

Shouldn't the second $R line be 

{$R JasotComponentsResource.res JasotComponentsResource.rc}

?

 

Also, the first and the third $R line refers to identical files, doesn't it?

Tiež prvý a tretí riadok $R odkazuje na identické súbory, však?

Yes. So I tested it. Only one case at a time!

{$R JasotComponents Resource .res JasotComponentsResource.rc}

I haven't come across anything like this anywhere. I can try.

S najväčšou pravdepodobnosťou niečo nie je v poriadku s JasotComponents.res alebo JasotComponentsResource.rc. Bohužiaľ nemáme prístup k týmto súborom, aby sme ich mohli skontrolovať.

Images are displayed on the palette.

I'll try to rephrase: As your package is called JasotComponents, * means JasotComponents, so the 3 $R lines are equivalent to:

{$R JasotComponents.res JasotComponents.rc}
{$R JasotComponents.res JasotComponentsResource.rc}
{$R JasotComponents.res JasotComponents.rc}   

So you're instructing Delphi to include the resource file JasotComponents.res 3 times, and to create it alternatingly from JasotComponents.rc and JasotComponentsResource.rc. That probably won't work. 😉

Who's "He" exactly? The IDE? Your code? Where exactly are you seeing the error?

You haven't read it carefully or the translation is bad. I always used only one line. I'm not that crazy.

I did not check the translation. Sorry. When I started reading about manually compiling resources and runtime packages, wrapped me up deadly sweat.

I solved this using TVirtualImageList. It's not clean. But simple and it can be used. 

It's closed to me.
