TcxCustomImage Class

Serves as the base class for classes that implement editors capable of storing and displaying an image.

Declaration

TcxCustomImage = class(
    TcxCustomEdit,
    IdxScrollingControl,
    IdxZoomClient,
    IcxTrackBar
)

Remarks

The editor supports a number of image formats, including:

JPEG images (.jpg and .jpeg)
bitmaps (.bmp)
icons (.ico)
metafiles (.emf and .wmf)
GIF images and animated GIF images (.gif)
others

You can load and save graphical data from/to a file and the clipboard.

End-users can manage images using the editor’s context menu.

The image stored and displayed by the editor is referenced by its Picture property. The TcxCustomImage class provides a set of members that allow you to manage the image. In addition, this class provides the Properties with which you can customize various look & feel settings of the image editor and respond to image changes.

The TcxCustomImage class implements the essential functionality required by image editors. The derived TcxImage and TcxDBImage classes primarily publish the inherited properties and events.
