Hi Heinz,

This is my error.

ImageScrollBox.Graphic.Assign(JpegImage)

should work.

TGraphic is the VCL base class for all graphic. TBitmap, TJpegImage is derived from TGraphic. TDibGraphic is the base Envision class, derived from TGraphic. All Envision graphic classes are derived from TDibGraphic.

TDibGraphic.Assign() will accept any TGraphic derived class, so it should work with TJpegImage. I don't recall trying it so let me know how it goes.

Just as a test, if you try

ExtractThumbnailJpeg.SaveToFile('c:\testfile.jpg') is the resulting file a valid JPEG file?

See my comment above. You can use TDibGraphic.Assign(...) with any TGraphic derived class.

You can try this,

ImageScrollBox.Graphic.Assign(Image.Picture.Graphic);

If you are still having problems, the best way for me to help you would be to send me a small sample project, that has all the necessary source files.

Best regards,
