I'm sorry, my english is not very good.
I need to use semi-transparent bitmap pictures in my D7 app. So, i should use XPManifest and ImageList version6 instead of 5.8 standard one. But in this case, I faced a problev: all images loses their transparency while I load them form stream!
type
TForm2 = class(TForm)
btn4: TButton;
btn5: TButton;
lst1: TbtkListView;
il1: TImageList;
btn1: TButton;
tlb1: TToolBar;
btn2: TToolButton;
btn3: TToolButton;
xpmnfst1: TXPManifest;
procedure btn4Click(Sender: TObject);
procedure btn5Click(Sender: TObject);
procedure btn1Click(Sender: TObject);
private
FS: TFileStream;
{ Private declarations }
public
{ Public declarations }
end;
var
Form2: TForm2;
implementation
{$R *.dfm}
procedure TForm2.btn4Click(Sender: TObject);
var
Bmp : TBitmap;
ImageList: TbtkImageList;
begin
ImageList := TbtkImageList.Create(nil);
Bmp := TBitmap.Create;
FS := TFileStream.Create('c:\temp\1.cmp',fmCreate);
try
Bmp.LoadFromFile('c:\temp\1.bmp');
ImageList.Add(Bmp, nil);
FS.WriteComponent(ImageList);
finally
Bmp.Free;
end;
end;
procedure TForm2.btn5Click(Sender: TObject);
var
Bmp : TBitmap;
ImageList : TbtkImageList;
begin
ImageList := TbtkImageList.Create(nil);
Bmp := TBitmap.Create;
try
FS.Position := 0;
FS.ReadComponent(ImageList);
ImageList.GetBitmap(0, Bmp);
Bmp.SaveToFile('c:\temp\3.bmp');
finally
Bmp.Free;
ImageList.Free;
end;
end;
ImageListCreationCode:
constructor TbtkImageList.Create(AOwner: TComponent);
begin
inherited;
if HandleAllocated then
ImageList_Destroy(Handle);
Handle := ImageList_Create(32, 32, ILC_COLOR32, AllocBy, AllocBy);
end;

Can somebody help me?
Once you put a bitmap having alpha channel information in an image list, there's no easy (*) way you can get it out in its original bitmap form. TImageList.GetBitmap
just sets the dimensions of the bitmap you pass to it, and draws on its canvas. It doesn't use the overload that could draw transparently BTW, but it's not all that important as instead of using GetBitmap
you can call the Draw
overload yourself.
As a result, instead of streaming the image list in and out, I suggest to stream the bitmaps themselves if you need to preserve their original form.
Try the below and see if it fits your needs (it is transparent but it may not be identical with the source bitmap as it is again drawn):
var
Bmp : TBitmap;
ImageList : TImageList;
FS: TFileStream;
begin
ImageList := TImageList.Create(nil);
try
FS := TFileStream.Create('c:\temp\1.cmp',fmOpenRead or fmShareDenyWrite);
try
FS.ReadComponent(ImageList);
finally
FS.Free;
end;
Bmp := TBitmap.Create;
try
Bmp.PixelFormat := pf32bit;
Bmp.Canvas.Brush.Color := clNone;
Bmp.Width := ImageList.Width;
Bmp.Height := ImageList.Height;
ImageList.Draw(Bmp.Canvas, 0, 0, 0, dsNormal, itImage);
Bmp.SaveToFile('c:\temp\3.bmp');
finally
Bmp.Free;
end;
finally
ImageList.Free;
end;
end;
I suppose, I found a kind of solution.
var
BMP: TBitmap;
ImageList : TImageList;
FS: TFileStream;
ico: TIcon;
IconInfo: TIconInfo;
begin
ImageList := TImageList.Create(nil);
try
FS := TFileStream.Create('c:\temp\1.cmp',fmOpenRead or fmShareDenyWrite);
try
FS.ReadComponent(ImageList);
finally
FS.Free;
end;
Bmp := TBitmap.Create;
Ico := TIcon.Create;
try
ImageList.GetIcon(0, ico);
GetIconInfo(ico.Handle, IconInfo);
BMP.Handle := IconInfo.hbmColor;
BMP.PixelFormat := pf32bit;
BMP.Canvas.Brush.Color := clNone;
Bmp.SaveToFile('c:\temp\3.bmp');
finally
ico.Free;
Bmp.Free;
end;
finally
ImageList.Free;
end;
end;
This code will get exactly the same bitmap, as was put into ImageList;
To copy one ImageList to another without losses, we can use copying with streams:
procedure TbtkImageList.Assign(Source: TPersistent);
var
IL: TCustomImageList;
BIL: TbtkImageList;
var
st: TMemoryStream;
begin
st := TMemoryStream.Create;
try
st.WriteComponent(TbtkImageList(Source));
st.Seek(0, soFromBeginning);
st.ReadComponent(Self);
finally
st.Free;
end;
end;
