Assign a bitmap to a picture from an imagelist

Hi Experts,
I have an imagelist with some preloaded images.
At runtime i want to show different status of my application using a Timage component.

What is the correct way to assign to the TPicture an image from the imagelist?

Best regards

Oh, a solution from the top expert....

Thank you  kretzschmar, i've done the assignment suggested, it work but the new image is not repainted, this happen only when i force the redraw of the form (eg. by minimising/maximizing form).

Any idea?

In some cases, using the solution posted above, i've verified that the images are not drawn correctly.
The best solution is a mix of the solutions gived by kretzschmar:

   image1.picture := nil;
   imagelist1.GetBitmap(Index, image1.picture.bitmap);
   image1.refresh;

This works always.
