Help: How to make a bitmap resource for component in C++ Builder?

[tchikien]

Hi coders,
I wrote a component in C++ Builder 2006, it works fine. But I have trouble in making a bitmap for the component to show in the Component palette.
Can any one show me how to do that?
Thanks.

it's not hard but it's one of those things that you really need a tutorial to help with, because things have to be named very precisely.  hopefully you can find a tutorial on the web and tell us where you found it, or someone else can.  if you give up trying to find one perhaps i can help. i have a very old c++ builder book (http://www.amazon.com/Borland-C%2b%2b-Builder-Definitive-Problem/dp/157169109X/) which is quite out of date but still incredibly useful for such help.
