Images from RC

[Roger Garstang]

I'd like to see the ability to not only load an image say for the form icon or picture control from file, but from an ID in the RC file.  I usually do my RC files different than the ones generated by FF.  I don't like the string names and use things like:



IDR_APP     ICON    DISCARDABLE "Main.ico"

(Sometimes numbers are nice to do calculations on and set the image according to the result, etc.)

Maybe have FF parse included .rc modules and allow IDs to be selected.  Then when we write our own code to change icons on picture controls/forms/trayicons, etc we know what the value is cause we made it...when FF makes it we don't know till the app is compiled and look in the source.
