How can I include a wordfile and a textfile into my project?

[Supester]

I am not sure you can put them into your exe.....(correct me if I'm wrong pleaase), but you can distribute them when u install your program and put it in the app.path........

[darre1]

you can add them using the Package & Deployment Wizard.

darre1, can you show me an exempel?

[Supester]

By including them in your package and deployment wizard they are not part of your executable...it is included in your setup but it will (after setup at the user) still be a seperate Word File

just confim something for me please...

it doesn't matter if these files are part of the actual exe file does it? just as long as they are installed in the same directory as the exe, yes?

You can add them to res files and then compile them into the exe.
At runtime you can extract them easily.

Let me look for a link

This extracts a MDB (access database to a directory you name.)

Fairly straight forward except for the res file itself(you`ll see)
You might need to go to Addin Manager and select resource editor..



Take a look

Hi SeaHag and thanks! Thats exact what i need.
But how do I do if I wanna include more than one file?
I tried, but I not understand this...-->

btBuffer = LoadResData(101, fileType) ' 101, 102, 103 and 104! (index,format)

Cool
If you want to ad another file..
double click on the resourse file included in the project..
(i am going from memory soo bear with me)
Add a "custome resouce" The i think you will be promped
to find file..
Then. right click on the newly added file , and change the file extension to the one you added.. ie. txt, doc, mdb etc.


As for... btBuffer = LoadResData(101, fileType) ' 101, 102, 103 and 104! (index,format)


it refers to the files in the resource file.. make sense?
101 will be mdb 102 might be a bitmap. ...
Hope i didnt confuse the issue

Seahag


Just a thought..
YOu may have to make 101 a variable. add it to the function.. and
Make a loop to extract multiple resource files

That is all

It works now! Thanks!
