Dear Support !

What would you recommend to show a picture on a panel or form – contained in a TsAlphaImageList ?

… also would be nice to use AC's enhanced stretch function to show a TPicture saved in a kind of “TsImage”. (Because original TImage's stretching looks not too great.)

Any ideas how to do it? (or plans for future component ?)

Thanks for the info and Happy Christmas

Hello!

If you have an image contained in the TsAlphaImageList compoent, then you can draw directly from this component I think (TsAlphaImageList.Draw procedure).

You can place this code in the TsPanel.OnPaint or Form.OnPaint events. Why you need a special component for that?:)

Happy New Year

Hi Serge !

It's new year and (hopefully) we are all sober again

It would be hard for me to list ALL advantages a TsImage component would offer but here are some:

– OnClick, MouseUp … events on a picture

– Proportional property

– UseCash property (like at TsVirtualImageList)

– no need to calculate ScaleBy- and Anchors-modified coordinates for placement of a picture

– component order

– probably more repaint-refresh compatibility with other AlphaSkin controls (like TsPanel)

– maybe it could hold standard picture types too, like a normal TImage (.jpg, tif..)

– would increase development work for scaled touch-screen application ca. 20x times

– …

So it would be simply logical to have such a component, basically like the sBitBtn, without [focus, borders, onKeyDown, …] and such events.

Cheers ^_^

I've just started to develop a new module for my program where I wanted to place pictures for different payment types (cash, credit card, ticket, …) on a TScrollBox under each other. Than I've realized it's complicated without TsImage to use pictures already saved into a TsAlphaImageList.

Hello!

I think, such component may be useful, added in ToDo

Thanks Mate !

I'll be thankful for that

You may just make a copy from the TsBitBtn component,

– rename to TsImage

– delete all unnecessary stuff (Caption, borders, etc) and

– add Proportional property.

I think that's all. :a3:

Hi,

I've tested yesterday 8.30 beta (yet, only on XE3 32bit)

Also tested with TsVirtualImageList.

TsImage seems to work nice !!

only found 3 small glitches:

1. if a TsButton is placed OVER it, the button flickers (even at design time) [maybe sButton related…] [TsBitBtn works fine.]

2. if setting .AutoSize := True >> Height and Width will change to 0 !! >> not possible to change those to any other value except turning AutoSize OFF.

3. ImageIndex is normally at all other AC components a drop-down list with images showed. Here only a number.

… and I've found an other abnormality: when changing the AlphaImageList 's Width and Height >> pictures are not showing any more, only in the pic-manager window. (See attached pic.)

Cheers

PS: this topic should now being moved to Troubleshootings.

I'll try to improve it later.

I can't reproduce it, can you help me?

I'm testing and testing and it's doing at me ALWAYS.

attached a simple project. Just select the image and click the Autosize property to become TRUE.

it will shrink the image size to 0-0 !

Thank you, I understand now. The issue will be solved in the nearest release.
