Greetings All,

I would like to use a TDBImage component that would allow the user to right
click on the component to display a popupmenu with the options to:

1) load a bitmap using a TOpenDialog component and save it to interbase blob
field.

2) clear the image.

Obviously if the blob field contains a bitmap I need it to display in the
TDBImage component.

Does anyone have some code to help me do this.

Thanks for any help.

Mike

Hi,

        MyTable.edit;
        If OpenDialog1.Execute then
                MyTablesBlobField.loadFromFile(OpenDialog1.filename);
        MyTable.post;

        You'd be better off emptying the field, then refreshing the component:
                MyTable.edit;
                MyTablesBlobfield.clear;
                MyTable.post;

Hi, ST Wizard.

You can look on http://www.interbase.com and find article to BMP in IB. Too
that good article have on http://www.mers.com.

Regard.

ps. I'm sorry for my very bad English.

The TOpenDialog.FileName property returns the name and location of the file
to open. This value can be used as the parameter for the
TBlobField.LoadFromFile method.

  if OpenDialog1.Execute then
    TBlobField(Query1.Fields[44]).LoadFromFile(OpenDialog1.FileName);

If the dataset component is in edit mode, the TField.Clear method will
empty the field of all contents. If a data-aware control should happen to
be connected to the field, it should reflect the change to nothing.
