Delphi DirectX: how to load files to DXImageList???
Author
Hiya Folks,
Quick question for you...
I have a string array holding the names of many Bmps/Jpegs. I want the user to be able to select which files they want loaded into a DXImageList (I'll just use a simple checkbox group for the selection).
Can you tell me how to load/add these files to the DXImageList at runtime please?
Much thanks,
Jim

Ok, so not the quickest question after all!..but I still can't find a way to do this. The program works great if I load files into the imagelist before running it, so it's REALLY bugging me now! Please help!

That Restore might be the most important.
Unfortunately, it's been years since I've encountered Delphi, so I can't test it.
2.1 Loading pictures at runtime // Load a normal raster-image into DXImageList (BMP, DIB etc.)// Picture becomes an item of DXImageListprocedure LoadImage (Filename, NameImage : String; PatWidth, PatHeight : Integer; Transp : Boolean; TranspColor : TColor);begin DXImageList.Items.Add; with DXImageList.Items[DXImageList.Items.Count-1] do beginPicture.LoadFromFile (FileName);Name := NameImage;PatternWidth := PatWidth;PatternHeight := PatHeight;SkipHeight := 0;SkipWidth := 0;SystemMemory := False;Transparent := Transp;TransparentColor := TranspColor;Restore; end;end; With this method, I can load about 200 pictures at a time with no problems. More pictures give problems, just because of the limits of myphysical memory J. Loading jpeg-pictures however, always give problems! Only BMP and DIB pictures work well.That Restore might be the most important.
