Here you can find all kinds of information about the FreePascal Compiler. We have many tutorials and howtos as well as a selection of tools to help you with your programming. We also have some example codes for you. And if you want to contribute some information/ sources/ tools yourself you can do so.
Also we have finally relaunched the FoFPC forum. It's your chance for some Q&A about everything FreePascal.

Resource Hacker - by Friends-of-FPC

The Resource Hacker is a tool to extract, manipulate and create resource files. It starts with simple tasks like "extracting an icon" but the tool is far more complex.

If you want to create a dialog with FPC you have to do it by blind as no visual dialog tool is available with the compiler. But in Resource Hacker you can create resource files with ease.

Inserting dialog controls and placing them is childs play. The output .rc files can be compiled with VC++ resource compiler or GoRC. With a little renaming with WindRES as well.

So, if you are working with the WinAPI and want comfortable dialog creation or simply put icons in your applications take a look.
