TdxSplashFormBase.TCustomImage Class

The base class for Image and Animation/Activity Indicator widgets used in Splash and Wait Forms.

Declaration

TCustomImage = class abstract(TContentItem)

Remarks

Image Splash Form widgets allow you to display non-interactive static images (TdxSplashFormBase.TImage) and looped animations (TdxSplashFormBase.TAnimation) on a Splash or Wait Form.

Supported Image Formats

Animation and Image widgets support the same image formats available for use in all DevExpress UI controls:

BMP | EMF | GIF | JPEG | PNG | TIFF | WMF

Support for these image formats relies on corresponding native encoders from the Windows Imaging Component (WIC).

SVG

DevExpress controls use our own SVG engine implementation. Refer to the following topic for detailed information on supported SVG elements and their attributes: SVG Image Support.
