Question:
When I try to add a resource to my project's .res file, I get a
"Duplicate Resource" error when linking. The resource I have
added is a unique resource. How can I successfully add the
resource to my project?
Answer:
The projects resource file is generated by the IDE wizard,
and is not intended to be modified. To add additional resources
to your project, create a separate resource file with a unique
name that does not conflict with either the project or any of
the unit names. Then to add the resource file to Delphi, simply
add the following line to any unit file in the project:
{$R MyRes.Res}
(where MyRes.Res is the name of the resource file).
To add the resource to Borland's C++ Builder, add the resource
from the project manager.
