by I am a disgruntled VB programmer of 5 yrs who is thinking seriously of
moving to Delphi.
In order to make a final decision, I need to convert a VB program that
uses the Wang (Kodak) images viewer. When I tried to use
IMGTHUMB.OCX, Delphi crashed as soon as I clicked on the control. All
my problems would be solved if I could use IMGTHUMB.OCX but it doesn't
seem possible.
After searching the internet for ages, I eventually found Envision
Image Library for Delphi 5 that looks as if it could be a replacement.
Unfortunately I haven't got a clue what I have to do to get it to
work. The readme.txt contained the following :
TQRDBImageEn and TQRImageEn components installation
To install components select "Component->Install Component" menu and
browse QRDBImageEn.dcu and QRImageEn.dcu (or .obj for C++Builder). I
suggest you to install them in dclusr package (the default).
Required packages for Delphi 5 are:
pkiectrl5
pkiedb5
qrpt50
vcl50
vclbde50
vcldb50
I realise I could read through about 15 million pages of instructions
to have any idea what the above means, but I was hoping someone wuold
be kind enough to get me over this hurdle. If I can find a way of
viewing Multi-Page tiffs with thumbnails in Delphi then I will
definitely use it in the future.
I know this is a big favour to ask someone, but I live in hope,
Pete.
