How Embed image to EX5

New comment
 

Hi, I used  OBJ_BITMAP_LABEL to show an image on chart it works ok until I distributed program to my client and he said there is no image !!!

I tried ex5 on another broker on my pc and I noticed bmp files that I used are not packed with compiled file!😢

So I read document I Think maybe using Resources will do the trick.🤔

So here is my two question you professionals may help me by answering them:😘

1- Using #Resource pack bmp image along compiled program?

2. when I try to use #resource  I got this error! " unsupported image format 'C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\B2973C469D24\MQL5\Indicators\myind\arrdown.bmp' Panel.mqh 12 1  "

In addition,  I tried 16color , 256 color , mono color and 24bit color .bmp format and i got same error

#resource "arrdown.bmp"
#resource "arrup.bmp"

I have seen indicators that embedded image and ...

Thanks in advance.🌹❤
