TTMSFNCBitmapContainer

The TTMSFNCBitmapContainer is a container for managing and storing images in your application. The images can be added at designtime from a folder by right-clicking the component and choosing "Load files from folder…" or "Add files from from folder...". The latter is used to append images to an already existing image collection.

Most FNC components support the TTMSFNCBitmapContainer to embed images in HTML text or draw images in other non-textual parts. The BitmapContainer property can be used to assign an instance of TTMSFNCBitmapContainer.

When a property in the component refers to a bitmap name you can select from a list of values retrieved from the earlier added collection of images in the TTMSFNCBitmapContainer.

Below you can see a result after applying this on a component that supports the TTMSFNCBitmapContainer.

TTMSFNCURLBitmapContainer

Inheriting from TTMSFNCBitmapContainer is the TTMSFNCURLBitmapContainer component which adds support for downloading an image via an URL. The TTMSFNCURLBitmapContainer has a DefaultImage property that is shown when following the above steps for picking an image in the collection through the Name. As soon as the image is downloaded (asynchronously) the OnDownloadComplete event is triggered which allows you to instruct the component to repaint itself so it displays the updated image.
