Hello
I've looked everywhere but can;t find an example.
Below is my code to load an image form a database. It works ok with the cxImage but I can;t out how to load it into the ImaqeENViewer
Thanks, Andy

procedure TfmMidDBImages.LoadImage();
var
BlobStream: TFDBlobStream;

begin

BlobStream := TFDBlobStream.create(qryImages.FieldByName('IMAGE')
as TBlobField, bmRead);
try
cxImage1.Picture.LoadFromStream(BlobStream);


ImageEnView1.IO.LoadFromStream(BlobStream);

finally
BlobStream.Free;
end;

end;

Hi

Please see the examples at:

http://www.imageen.com/help/TIEDBBitmap.html

For instance, to make a TImageEnView display the image at the current database position:

// Create DB Aware TImageEnView
procedure TMainForm.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  ... Open a database table ...

  fDBBitmap := TIEDBBitmap.create( DataSource1, 'Image', 'Name' );
  ImageEnView1.SetExternalBitmap( fDBBitmap );
end;

procedure TMainForm.FormDestroy(Sender: TObject);
begin
  FreeAndNil( fDBBitmap );
end;



To load an image from the current database position on demand:

MyBMP := TIEDBBitmap.Create();
MyBMP.Read( MyTableImageBlob );
ImageEnView1.Assign( MyBmp );
MyBmp.Free;

Thanks for the reply Nigel, That works ok for reading the data. Every time I scan a document using the demo or even compiled demo from you website,
I get access violation on the
fDBBitmap.Write(); line.
The image shows ok, DBrecord remains in dsInsert, so the images is never written to the table.

I'd be happy to write the data using insert into, but don;t know how to get at the image

Hi

Are you sure the database is not located in a read-only path?

hi, The db is fine. Its a remote Mysql db. We can write to it no problem.
I can give you temporary credentials if you want to try it ? There are only images stored on this database.
If you can tell me how to get the imnge into a stream I can write the data manually into the BLOB.

Hi

TIEBitmap.Read() and Write() both support stream overloads.

http://www.imageen.com/help/TIEBitmap.Write.html

e.g.

// Output current image to a TImage
bmp := TIEBitmap.Create;
Stream := TMemoryStream.Create;
bmp.Read( 'D:\image.webp' );
bmp.Write( Stream, ioBMP );
Stream.Position := 0;
Image1.Picture.LoadFromStream( Stream );
Stream.Free();
bmp.Free();

Hi Nigel
I that's using TIebitmap but we are using the TIEDBBitmap?

I'm trying -
bmp.Read (fDBBitmap.???? );

I can;t work out how to get the bitmap from the TIEDBBitmap

Or is it best not to use TIEDBBitmap at all and use TIEBitmap instead ?

Sorry, I'm not really understanding what you are trying to do here.

TIEDBBitmap inherits all the usual bitmap methods of TIEBitmap, so you can just access the TBitmap as follows:

fDBBitmap.AssignTo( myBMP );
