<div>I simply resolved to heep my web page html files that I want to search in a seperate resource, and load its .RC list into one other .RC and process it into an array on form creation. </div>

<div>On discovering information on what resources are embeded in a Delphi application, MSDN is not too helpful from a Delphi point of view, but this looks very promising if any one is looking for anything like this . .</div>

<div>I forgot to mention that initially I overlooked the need to recompile the project rather than just F9 (Run) the project from the IDE when anything new is added to the .RC, or the new material will not be availble as Delphi is not set up to monitor changes to the .RC even if it is included as a project file, and therefore does not recompile off its own bat.

<div>Shift F9 (rebuild) is the best bet after adding any new material to the .RC</div>

<div>Does any one know if resources embeded in an executbale can be enumerated by any means at run time? Is their a schedule of the associated .RES (.RC) stored with the RES?</div>

<div>Dear NZ group,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>For quite a while I looked for a decent and easy help system to integerate into Delphi projects, and there was over the years a bit of talk on the whole thing. From many of the ideas expressed in the past in this group, and a some help from Google (
<a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://delphi.about.com/" target="_blank">http://<span><font size="2"><font color="#008000"><b>delphi</b>.about.com</font></font></span></a>, Jan Verhoeven <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.jansfreeware.com/articles/delphiresource.html" target="_blank">

http://www.delphidabbler.com/articles?article=10</a> ) </div>
<div>I ended up with the following approach which so far is proving very robust. </div>
<div>And shared here in case any one is looking for a low key and straight forward approach. </div>
<div>I would appreciate any feedback or improvements please.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<div>From at least Delphi 2005 (if not D7?) forward there is an integration in the IDE that allows you to create a .RC file and include it in the project so that the resulting RES file compiles into the executible automatically. Well that will not be news to many, but this gives the opening to easily build html type help directly into a project with a minumin of effort.
