TdxCustomSmartImage.Assign(TPersistent) Method

Populates the Smart Image container with an image from the specified source.

Declaration

procedure Assign(ASource: TPersistent); override;

Parameters

Name	Type
ASource	TPersistent

Remarks

Call this procedure to replace the Smart Image container’s content with a BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, or SVG image stored in a container passed as the ASource parameter. Depending on the source container type, the Assign procedure performs different actions:

• A Smart Image container (that is, a TdxCustomSmartImage descendant instance). Assign calls the AssignFromSmartImage procedure internally, passing the container as a parameter;

• A custom image container (that is, a TGraphic descendant instance). Assign calls the AssignFromGraphic procedure internally, passing the container as a parameter;

• The system clipboard (that is, a TClipboard class instance). Assign calls the PasteFromClipboard internally;

• nil. Assign destroys the currently stored image by calling the Clear procedure.

Calling the Assign procedure raises an exception if an unsupported image container is passed as the ASource parameter.
