I'm new to DelphiArea and would like to post a silly question:
RE:Tprintpreview
I wanna use it to preview my images before printing them out, however, my images are all like bmp,jpg or gif, how can I get them previewed on this component TPrintPreview, as I found it can only load ppv data. Thank you in adance.

preview.canvas.draw+F1

besides... you can print them on print preview canvas just like on normal printer canvas, isn't that nice?
