I found a solution to this problem by using the delphi TMetafile instead of TImageScrollbox in this case only.
Because the TMetafile does not format it as a bitmap but leave it as a vector-graphic it is much better quality as well.

This is my code now...

if UpperCase(RightStr(myGraphic.Filename,3)) = 'WMF' then
begin
myGraphic.metafile := TMetafile.Create;
myGraphic.metafile.Transparent := true;
myGraphic.metafile.LoadFromFile(myGraphic.Filename);
myGraphic.width := myGraphic.metafile.Width;
myGraphic.height := myGraphic.metafile.height;
end
else
begin
myGraphic.image := TImageScrollBox.Create(self);
myGraphic.image.Color := self.Color;
myGraphic.image.LoadFromFile(myGraphic.Filename,1);
myGraphic.width := myGraphic.image.Graphic.Width;
myGraphic.height := myGraphic.image.Graphic.height;


Maybe someone else can use this approach as well.

grtz,

Erik
