Declaration

TOpenImageEnDialog = class(TIECommonDialog);

Description

Displays a modal Windows dialog box for selecting and opening image files. It includes all properties, methods and events of the standard TOpenDialog. It also includes a preview window which displays all ImageEn supported file formats. If the file is an animated GIF, AVI video or a multi page TIFF, all images will be shown in sequence. The "Play" button can be activated to animate the sequence.

Image information is also shown, including dimensions, colors, file type, compression and file size


For more modern styled dialogs, enable ModernDialog (Also see UseWindowsOpenSaveDialogs):


Note:
◼ You can also display an Open dialog for a TImageEnView just by calling ExecuteOpenDialog or for a TImageEnMView by calling ExecuteOpenDialog
◼ If your application is likely to be scaled (i.e. display is not 100%) it is recommended that you enable ModernDialog

Examples

// Browse for an image in the My Pictures folder and display it in an ImageEnView
OpenImageEnDialog1.InitialDir := WindowsMyPicturesFolder();
If OpenImageEnDialog1.Execute then
  ImageEnView1.LoadFromFile( OpenImageEnDialog1.Filename );

// Prompt user to insert multiple images into a TImageEnMView
OpenImageEnDialog1.Options := OpenImageEnDialog1.Options + [ofAllowMultiSelect];
if OpenImageEnDialog1.Execute then
  ImageEnMView1.FillFromList( OpenImageEnDialog1.Files );

// Display only the first frame of videos and multi-frame images. This can improve performance
OpenImageEnDialog1.ShowAllFrames := False;
