MainForm1.ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.LoadFromResource( HInstance, 'AboutImage', RT_RCDATA, ioJPEG );

// Load the About Box image from a bitmap resource in the current application
MainForm1.ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.LoadFromResource( HInstance, 'AboutImage', RT_BITMAP, ioBMP );

// Get a toolbar button image from the ImageEn resources
Bitmap.LoadFromResource( HInstance, ITBRES_PROMPTTOSAVE_24 , RT_RCDATA, ioPNG );
if not isEnabled then
  Bitmap.ConvertToGray();

Bitmap.LoadFromResource( HInstance, ITBRES_COLOR_PALETTE_24, RT_RCDATA, ioPNG );
