First off Thanks to Eddie Shipman for his jpegimagelist source it did work however not entirely how I had hoped. After searching using 5 different search engines for a jpegimagelist and coming up with nothing useful I came to the conclusion either there is no desire for such a component or it is extensively complicated to write one... As a result I plan to try to tackle the chore of writing a full blown jpeg imagelist component which mimicks delphi's imagelist component. If successful I will post a link to it's source code...for comments and criticism :-)
I've never written a full blown component and as a result I'm learning a great deal about class methods vs component methods, as well as properties usefulness... how to debug components without installing them and several other tidbits... I'm using Delphi 7 Component Writer's Guide.pdf From Borland I'm sure many of you guys have written numerous components over the years and as a new component writer trying to get his feet wet if there is any advice you could pass on to me that might help ease my learning curve, please feel free to do so The biggest question is which class should I derive from for a jpeg image list component...
