Clear Images in TPicshow v 2.4

Hello,

I'm still working with version 2.4 of TPicshow (I can't install version 3.0, see my other posting) and I want to design some kind of slideshow.

The Problem is, when I assign a new Image to my TPicshow Komponent
with picshow1.picture.assign(SomeTPictureimage.picture),
one could see the last Picture still in the back (especially if it is of a different width and height).
I know from the readme that I can't use the clear method to get rid of the old picture. Does anybody know a work around how I could clear the picture anyway ?

Many thanks in Advance,

Frank aka The Nudge

Hi,

To remove the image that is stored in the Picture property, you can simply assign nil to Picture.Graphic. To clear the image on the screen to the background, you can call Clear method.

By the way, I recommend to use the latest version of the control. I hope my post on the other topic could be helpful.

Cheers,
Kambiz

My solution is to take each new image and draw it to a blank TBitmap the size of my window with a solid color background. The problem with that is if you have a large screen, that's a rather large bitmap to be transitioning, so it's a little slow (I'm about to post a topic suggesting using the Graphics32 library to speed things up.) That way you'll never have anything left over from a previous image.

I supposed all images have identical dimension. However, when the OverDraw property is False, you can clear the entire client area as follow:

I can't find the solution of this problem.

I want a transition between old pics ans new pics, so I keep overdraw=true.

However, when transition is complet, I want old pic to completely disappear.

Thanks again.
