IsKnownFormat

Declaration

function IsKnownFormat(const FileName: WideString; bIncludeVideoFiles: Boolean = False): Boolean;

Description

Returns True if the specified filename is a supported file format that can be loaded.
By default, this only includes image formats. Set bIncludeVideoFiles to True to include AVI, MPEG and WMV

Note: This method only checks that file extension is recognized (e.g. .JPEG of image.jpeg). To examine the content of the image to determine if it is readable use FindFileFormat

Example

If IsKnownFormat('C:\Test.fax') then
  ShowMessage('ok, I can load it');
