Hello,

i have a problem writing strings, integers, bitmaps to my TFileStream.
what i did was first to write some strings, then integers, and lastly
a bitmap using

    fs.WriteBuffer(bmpStrecke,sizeOf(bmpStrecke));

bmpStrecke is my bitmap of type TBitmap that i want to write to the
filestream. what happens is that my strings and integer values are
written perfectly, however, when i try to read the bitmap, it's empty.
how do i get my bitmap into my file? any help is appreciated.

Greetings, Chris

Use the bitmap's SaveToStream method, e.g.

    bmpStrecke.SaveToStream (fs);

to save the bitmap and its LoadFromStream method to load it.

Hi Bruce,

thanks for your answer, but doesn't the stuff i loaded to the stream
before calling SaveToStream get wiped away, because LoadToStream
doesn't specify the location where to write?

Chris

No. Read up on TStream.Position, and ponder its implications.
Streams are _not_ one-shot; they are... well, streams.
