display PCX image

Hi,

How do I display a ".pcx" Image file into an Image? Image works with .jpeg,
.bmp but what is about ".pcx"?

Thanks.

The only raster format that Windows natively supports is bitmap. You'll
need to convert the PCX image into a bitmap and then assign it to your
Image's Picture::Bitmap property. You might be able to find a third-party
component to read PCX images from www.torry.net. Here's some Delphi code
that you can try saving into a unit and installing...
