LoadFromFile is known to work. So there must be a more prosaic explanation.
The first possible explanation is that FileSize is not greater than 100 and the if condition evaluates false.
Another possible explanation is that the image in the file that you specify is not the one you are expecting.
Otherwise, your code has a swallow all exception handler. And so when the call to LoadFromFile fails and raises an exception, your code ignores that and carries on as if nothing un-toward had happened. Remove the try/except, and deal with the error that will be revealed.
The real lesson for you to learn is never to write such an exception handler again.
This program should prove to you that LoadFromFile is just fine:
program ImageDemo;
uses
Types, Math, IOUtils, SHFolder, Forms, Controls, StdCtrls, ExtCtrls, jpeg;
var
Form: TForm;
Image: TImage;
Timer: TTimer;
ImageIndex: Integer = -1;
MyPictures: string;
Images: TStringDynArray;
type
THelper = class
class procedure Timer(Sender: TObject);
end;
class procedure THelper.Timer(Sender: TObject);
begin
inc(ImageIndex);
if ImageIndex>high(Images) then
ImageIndex := 0;
if ImageIndex>high(Images) then
exit;
Image.Picture.LoadFromFile(Images[ImageIndex]);
end;
function GetMyPictures: string;
var
Str: array[0..260] of Char;
begin
if SHGetFolderPath(0, CSIDL_MYPICTURES, 0, 0, Str) = S_OK then
Result := Str;
end;
procedure BuildForm;
begin
Form.ClientWidth := 700;
Form.ClientHeight := 500;
Image := TImage.Create(Form);
Image.Parent := Form;
Image.Align := alClient;
Image.Stretch := True;
Timer := TTimer.Create(Form);
Timer.OnTimer := THelper.Timer;
Timer.Interval := 100;
end;
begin
MyPictures := GetMyPictures;
Images := TDirectory.GetFiles(MyPictures, '*.jpg', TSearchOption.soAllDirectories);
Application.MainFormOnTaskbar := True;
Application.CreateForm(TForm, Form);
BuildForm;
Application.Run;
end.
