[DUG]: Canvas and cliprect....

[Chris Veale]

Hi All.

Thanks for the advice but it was a programmer error :(

I had three images overlayed on top of each other and was trying to pick up the colour in one of the hidden images.  What I wasnt doing however was actually LOADING that image from file :(

Thanks for the advice though.....

Chris

Hi Chris,

Your code is right but it will work with valid bitmaps only.
If you try the same with Jpeg images, it will not work.

Hi,

I have an image that I want to display the colour of the pixel under the
cursor when the left mouse button is clicked.

I have the following section of code that does it (doesnt sound
difficult does it.)...

====================
procedure TForm1.imageMouseMove(Sender: TObject; Shift: TShiftState; X,
  Y: Integer);
var
  colour:TColor;
begin
  colour := Form1.image.Canvas.Pixels[X,Y]; ====================

However I always get -1 returned as the cliprect for the image canvas is
always [0,0],[1,1]

Looking at the help and trial and error I cannot set the cliprect
parameters, so my question is how do these values get set at runtime,
and also how can I actually get the colour being recognised?

Cheers

Chris
