> I am trying to load one of the Stock bitmaps - the close 'X' in the top
left corner of a window - into a bitmap. I have found some examples of how
to do it for VB but can't get it to work on Delphi. VB uses the
LoadBitmapBynum API call but the few clues I have found in Delphi indicate
that the .LoadFromResourceID method is the way to go. But I can't get either
way to work. Does anyone have any pointers to what I should be doing?

Place the graphic in a resource file.
Give it a meaningful name - for example: CLOSE_X.
Include the resource file in your form unit.
Use a call similar to this one:

MyImage.Picture.Bitmap.LoadFromResourceName(hInstance,CLOSE_X);
