Software Developers who use Borland Delphi will know that the world is full of a huge
resourse of programming tips and examples contributed by other Delphi users. Here are a
some little examples of programs with sample code that I have put together mainly by picking
up bits of sample code and modifying it for my own use. You are welcome to take the code
and modify for your own use.
 IcoToBMP is a very small program that uses the ExtractIcon API call to get the icon
from a program or icon file and save it as a small bitmap file. It demonstrates accepting
filenames by dropping into the program to start it and by dropping into the running program.
The Download includes the compiled program and source code.
 Merge Bitmaps is a program intended to produce progarm Icons from bitmaps. It
overlays a second bitmap over a first to produce a composite bitmap and can then save
the resultant bitmap or convert it into an icon and save the result. The program demonstartes
manipulation of bitmaps and the CreateIconIndirect API call for creating icons from
bitmaps. The Download includes the compiled program and source code.
Here are some other bits that I have found useful and am happy to endorse for nothing:
 My single most useful and easy to access source of program code example comes from
the quarterly CD the UK Borland User Group at http://www.richplum.co.uk/ It contains
a huge amount of information and although rather expensive you can sometimes get it as a
freebe (March - April in recent years) when pruchasing the Delphi Magazine back issues CD:
 The Delphi Magazine back issue CD is available from www.TheDelpiMagazine.com and
is produced annually and contains lots of in depth articles and information, of course you
can suscribe to get the monthly magazine if you wish.
