TIEPortableDevices.CopyStreamFromDevice

Declaration

function CopyStreamFromDevice(const sDeviceID, sObjectID: WideString; DestStream: TStream; Thumbnail: Boolean = False): Boolean; overload;
function CopyStreamFromDevice(Index: Integer; DestStream: TStream; Thumbnail: Boolean = False): Boolean; overload;

Description

Copy a file of the specified sObjectID from a device to a stream.
Result is true if the copy occurs.

Parameter	Description
sDeviceID	The ID of the device to copy from (e.g. ActiveDeviceID)
sFileID	The ID of the file to copy (ID cannot point to a folder)
Index	Index of the current item in the Objects array
DestStream	The stream that will be filled with the file. Its position is reset to zero after it is filled
Thumbnail	Requests a thumbnail rather than a file (typically returns a 256x256 image). If thumbnail loading fails, or it is not an image file, the full file is returned

Note: Ensure sObjectID points to a file, not a folder

Example

// Display the selected image in an ImageEnView
Idx := IEPortableDevices.ObjectIDToIndex( lbxObjects.Items[ lbxObjects.ItemIndex ] );
aObject := IEPortableDevices.Objects[ Idx ];
if ( aObject.ObjectType <> iewFolder ) and IsKnownFormat( aObject.Filename ) the
begin
  aMemStream := TMemoryStream.Create();
  try
    if IEPortableDevices.CopyStreamFromDevice( SelectedDeviceID, aObject.ID, aMemStream ) then
      ImageEnView1.IO.LoadFromStream(aMemStream);
  finally
    aMemStream.Free();
  end;
end;
