The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Creating Image Viewer Component (Again!)

Zones: Delphi Components, Delphi Programming
Tags: delphi, image, 7, viewer
Hi, I am making an Image viewer component in Delphi 7 that displays only bmp's. I have placed all of my sub components in a TPanel,  including

an Image Box
a Load File Button
An exit (close) button
A label that displays the file size

I have managed to code where I want  my buttons , labels and image box to be,  but what I want to know is how I add events to the buttons,  what code do I add to make the exit button close and to open a bmp?

I first made an application with all of the functionality working, just need to know how to transfer that to the compnent code?

Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated.

I have already asked this question before and I got a great solution from  expert dinilud (his code is below) but I forgot to ask him how I could retrieve & show another 2  image  properies in a label

1. File size in bytes or MB
2. Date file was created.

Cheers
