Declaration
property Location: TIELocation;
Description
Specifies how the image is stored (e.g. in memory).
| Value | Description |
| ieMemory | Uses standard memory. Canvas not available. Used for fast and smaller images |
| ieFile | Uses memory mapped files. Canvas not available. Used for very large images |
| ieTBitmap | Uses TBitmap VCL object. Canvas available. Used for drawing and compatibility. Location can be assigned before or after Allocate. Assigning Location on a existing image it converts the image to new location |
Note: Some methods, such as accessing the
VCL canvas or
VCL Bitmap, will automatically change the
Location to
ieTBitmap.
Default: ieMemory if sufficient memory is available, otherwise ieFile
Example
// Optimize TImageEnView to handle very large images
ImageEnView1.LegacyBitmap := False;
ImageEnView1.IEBitmap.Location := ieFile;
