[DUG] Component icon change help

[David Moorhouse]

Hi Vikas

Your component registration unit should look something like this ..

unit CompReg;

interface

procedure Register;

implementation

{$R *.DCR}

uses
  Classes, DesignIntf,
  MyComp;

const
  Palette_Page = 'MyPage';

procedure Register;
begin
  RegisterComponents(Palette_Page, [TMyComp]);
end;

end.

Where MyComp is the unit that contains the code for your component class,
TMyComp.

You will also need to create the DCR file, with the same base name (i.e.
MyComp.DCR).  This contains a 24x24 16 color bitmap named the same as the
component class e.g. "TMYCOMP".

If you're still having trouble, try unregistering your package - then
restarting Delphi before loading and installing the package again.
