hi,
i'm trying to use a BMP from a TImagelist to put it in the glyph property of a button. the code is like this :
imagelist1.getbitmap(1,button1.glyph);
the code works, but the image in the button never is exact the same as the image in the imagelist. there is some differences in color.
so the question is : how to get a bitmap in the imagelist and it looks exact as in the imagelist ?
thanks in advance
 

Hi, viana:
I think you should to use a TSpeedButton instead of TButton. I loaded
the bitmap from TImageList was successful. My codes like this:
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
Bmp: TBitmap;
begin
Bmp := TBitmap.Create;
try
ImageList1.GetBitmap(0, Bmp);
{ Maybe you need the following line. The transparent color
should be same as the Icon in TImageList. }
Bmp.TransprarentColor := clWhite;
SpeedButton1.Glyph.Assign(Bmp);
finally
Bmp.Free;
end;
end;
The codes above was worked with Delphi 5.
Best regards.

Greetings,
I am trying to load an image (for splash) based on a macro, i.e.:
#ifdef TEST
Image1->Picture->LoadFromFile(".\\splash\\Test_Splash.jpg");
#else
Image1->Picture->LoadFromFile(".\\splash\\Real_Splash.jpg");
#endif
This method requires having the actual jpeg file available otherwise an
exception is thrown.
Is there a way of including the graphical files in the executable and
accessing through an index?
Thanks,
S.

Look at the FileExists() function.
will have to load the image manually. Since you are only loading JPG
images, you can instantiate an instance of TJPEGImage, then call its
LoadFromStream() method, using a TResourceStream to access the image data
from the application's resources, and then finally assign the TJPEGImage to
TPicture's Graphic property. For example:
TResourceStream *Stream = new TResourceStream(HInstance,
#ifdef TEST
FirstID,
#else
SecondID,
#endif
RT_RCDATA);
try
{
TJPEGImage *JPG = new TJPEGImage;
try
{
JPG->LoadFromStream(Stream);
Image1->Picture->Graphic = JPG;
}
__finally {
delete JPG;
}
}
__finally {
delete Stream;
}
Do note that the above makes multiple copies of the JPG image, since
assigning the Graphic property makes a copy of the graphic rather than
taking ownership of it. If you don't want the extra copy, you can do the
following instead:
TResourceStream *Stream = new TResourceStream(HInstance,
#ifdef TEST
FirstID,
#else
SecondID,
#endif
RT_RCDATA);
try
{
TJPEGImage *JPG = new TJPEGImage;
try
{
// yes, this is assigning a blank image. This is to force the
Graphic
// property to be the correct class type before then loading the
// image data into it...
Image1->Picture->Graphic = JPG;
}
__finally {
delete JPG;
}
Image1->Picture->Graphic->LoadFromStream(Stream);
}
__finally {
delete Stream;
}

I guess that he meant the ship the exe without the image files. You can load
image at design time into image list, and then reference the images by their
index. But the exe file size is much bigger than JPG file bundle with the
exe because TImagelist store image in bmp mode. It doesn't matter since you
installation will zip the file anyway.
