tmp_A Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Hi all.Question 1I'm in the middle of creating a simple Delphi game, and am having a little trouble with the TImage component. Can't its shape be changed? I don't want to see a silhuette surrounding my character when he moves about on the screen. (E.g. when he moves onto a green surrounding, you can make out the rectangle black surounding him.) My character's a little bitmap image.Is there no component that can solve this problem? I.e. surround itself around the bitmap?Question 2:HOw do I load an image onto the form? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmp_A Posted August 4, 2005 Author Share Posted August 4, 2005 Well, I happened to stumble upon this code on the internet:Declare a TBitmap variable, initialise it during the form's creation, then set its parameters with the X, and YCoORds in the Form, and the name of the file I want. private Bmp: TBitmap; public { public declarations } end; implementation {$R *.dfm} procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject); begin Bmp := Bitmap.Create; end;// The rest deals with HInstance, handles, etc. which I dont understand..// Needless to say, the code isn't working on my computer... Hmm, this is // Windows API programming apparently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmp_A Posted August 5, 2005 Author Share Posted August 5, 2005 I've finally managed to get the image on the form.Anyway, here's how I did it:Instead of directly loading the image on the form, I first saved it as a .res file in the Image editor, then used it in the program code...
