Hi, I've understood that I can include media inside the exe file by changing the Application Type to Media and then add them to Media folder and the corresponding Media pane/window/tab.

The help file suggests that this is only for images. Is that true or can I also include other types of media such as sound files or models?

I experimented with this a few years back. As I recall you can include any external file not just media.

You can include everything that you use in/for your project: images,sounds,models,txt files, dba files used by the main .dba as includes, .arr array files etc. etc..
The project .dba will be included automatically.

Thanks guys. So I can include any type of file so does that also mean that I can load, for example, a model directly from this compiled EXE file simply by using the statement/command:
Load Object "media\MyObject.x", objectNumber ?

Yes. The only file type that doesn't work is a external dll. You can include a dll but DBPro cannot load it.

Thanks! It makes perfect sense that you can't load a dll that way since the whole idea behind a shared library is that it should be loaded only once.
