In reply to: glup 's message, "Identify graphic type" on 08:14:09 04/19/03 Sat


Hi Glup,

I am not sure if you are using version 2, but this has been added. The class method is,

class function CanRead( const Stream : TStream ) : Boolean; virtual;

and all current TDibGraphic derived classes implement it.

With the TImageScrollBox, you can now load any Envision support graphic without knowing the image type, with

LoadFromStream( const Stream : TStream;
const ImageNo : LongInt );

Best regards,

Michel
