Image (thumbnail size) populates a grid

listening

hello JPersinger, I made an App that would scan a Folder and display the Images there as thumbnails. I used a TDrawGrid, which I thought was more suited to graphics display. Here is some code I fished out of this app. I did NOT run this code, I just copied and pasted parts that I thought you might could get an Idea from. So some of the begins may not have an end. I Get the Folder files I want in FileListBox2.


type
    PicRec = record
    Path: String[255];
    Name: String[64];
    Sort: String[16];
    Size: Cardinal;
    Jsize: Integer;
    Width, Height, PicIndex, PicInfo: Word;
    Ext: PicExt;
    WriteTime: TFileTime;
    end;

var
ThisAlb: Array of PicRec;
ThisAlb2: Array of TJPEGImage;
Num: Integer;
Adding: Boolean;


procedure TfrmAlbum.ThumbNail(Pic1: TPicture; var ThumBmp: TBitmap);
var
Bmp1: TBitmap;
begin
ThumBmp.PixelFormat := pf24Bit;
if (Pic1.Width < Dimention) and (Pic1.Height < Dimention) then
    begin // 1
    ThumBmp.Height := Pic1.Height;
    ThumBmp.Width := Pic1.Width;
    end // 1
  else
  if Pic1.Width < Pic1.Height then
    begin // 2
    ThumBmp.Height := Dimention;
    ThumBmp.Width := Trunc(Dimention / (Pic1.Height / Pic1.Width))+2;
    end else // 2
  if Pic1.Width > Pic1.Height then
    begin // 3
    ThumBmp.Width := Dimention;
    ThumBmp.Height := Trunc(Dimention / (Pic1.Width / Pic1.Height))+2;
    end  else // 3
  {if Pic1.Width = Pic1.Height then}
    begin // 4
    ThumBmp.Width := Dimention;
    ThumBmp.Height := Dimention;
    end; // 4
  if Pic1.Graphic.ClassType = TGIFImage then
    begin
    Bmp1 := TBitmap.Create;
    Bmp1.Width := Pic1.Width;
    Bmp1.Height := Pic1.Height;
    Bmp1.Assign(Pic1.Graphic);
    ThumBmp.Canvas.StretchDraw(Rect(0,0,ThumBmp.Width,ThumBmp.Height), Bmp1);
    FreeAndNil(Bmp1);
    end else
    ThumBmp.Canvas.StretchDraw(Rect(0,0,ThumBmp.Width,ThumBmp.Height), Pic1.Graphic);
end;

again, this is not working code, I don't have time to redo this app now, but this should give you the Idea of what it takes. Ask questions if it is unclear

Studying. :)

Will let you know.

Thanks

Jim

I had to tweak (as you suggested) but got it to work just perfectly.

Thanks
