How do I embed Delphi XE2 VCL-Styles in a dll? The Application – Appearance

  • 0

How do I embed Delphi XE2 VCL-Styles in a dll? The Application – Appearance page is not visible in project settings for DLL-projects.

I tried defining them in a rc-file included with a $R directive which works but if there is a better way I’d like to know.

RC-file example:

GOLDENGRAPHITE VCLSTYLE "C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\RAD Studio\9.0\Redist\styles\vcl\GoldenGraphite.vsf"
CARBON VCLSTYLE "C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\RAD Studio\9.0\Redist\styles\vcl\Carbon.vsf"

In particular having to specify the full path to XE2-installation folder is something I want to avoid.

    Another options which you can use

    1) Using the Resource dialog.

    enter image description here

    2) Editing the dproj file of your dll

    under this key <PropertyGroup Condition="'$(Base)'!=''">

    Add one Entry VCL_Custom_Styles for the vcl styles

    <VCL_Custom_Styles>&quot;Amakrits|VCLSTYLE|$(PUBLIC)\Documents\RAD Studio\9.0\Styles\Amakrits.vsf&quot;;&quot;Amethyst Kamri|VCLSTYLE|$(PUBLIC)\Documents\RAD Studio\9.0\Styles\AmethystKamri.vsf&quot;;&quot;Aqua Graphite|VCLSTYLE|$(PUBLIC)\Documents\RAD Studio\9.0\Styles\AquaGraphite.vsf&quot;</VCL_Custom_Styles>
