Hi,

What for when i add lrs file to the component package? because it is not take my controls icon inside it when built Lazarus with package.

Is it possible in the future to add it in the source of package (feature request)?

Thanks in advance

I'm not sure what you mean.
You can add lrs to packages and you can include them in package units.

I converted my component icons to lrs file, then i added this file (lrs) to the Dialog package not the the source of it or source of file that register the controls, after build the lazarus with packages, my components icons not showed as i expected.
After i added lrs file to the unit that register my controls, the icons showed.
For that my as "What for when i add lrs file to the component package?" you can return to the original post.

(sorry for my poor English)

Thanks

No. lrs files are simple include files. They are included as string constants.

that's why it worked when you put your icons into that file. But it should be possible to add further {$R ...} directives, to include other resource files as well.

The $R directive supports icons in ico format. AFAIK it does not support png.

After i added lrs file to the unit that register my controls, the icons showed.

IMO it's a matter of {$R some.res}, what makes icons (and other resources) usable in code. AFAIK the standard {$R *.res} only includes the <programname>.lrs file, that's why it worked when you put your icons into that file. But it should be possible to add further {$R ...} directives, to include other resource files as well.

In onther words, If adding lrs file to the package, it automatically add it to the package source like this

initialization
  {$i myctrls.lrs}

I like also if i add myfile.inc file it also add it to the source, so i can add my register function instead of create new unit for it.

procedure Register;
begin
  RegisterComponents(...);
  RegisterComponentEditor(...);
end;

Hmm, it is not good idea, how can i add units to uses in package source!?

It is a feature i like to have it in FPC.

Best Regards

If you add a lrs to a package, you are responsible to add the above two lines somewhere.

Use the package editor and add the unit. The default is to "use the unit", which means it is added to the uses section of the package source (main unit).
