To build an About box, I wanted to grab the application cion as I had set it in project options, just so I could make this universal and without the need of extra files.
Took me a minute to figure this out, so I'm posting it here in hopes it will save someone a headache 😉
Preconditions:
Make sure you have assigned an icon to your application, in Project Options!
As a target I used a regular Timage, and the unit I'm working in does not need to be the main unit.
Code:
Image1.Picture.LoadFromResourceName(HINSTANCE, 'MAINICON'); // Grab icon from Application
This will load the main icon into "Image1".
Note: under macOS this may crash, works fine under Windows, Linux not yet tested.
