Description

TCustomIcon is a TRasterImage descendant which implements the base class for TIcon. TIcon supports image files using the .ICO file format. An .ICO file typically contains several images with different sizes and/or color depths.

TCustomIcon extends the ancestor class to include an internal list of images, and provides overridden methods which use the list of images in their implementations. This includes the ReadData method used during LCL component streaming. ReadStream is overridden to handle not only multiple images but PNG and DIB image formats used in some Icon files.

When loading an icon file, the largest/most colorful image is selected as the current image. Other sizes and/or color depths are accessed by setting the value in the Current property, or using Size when Current is not already set, or by setting Current to the value from the GetBestIndexForSize method.

Use the Count, Add, Delete, Remove, Clear, and AssignImage methods to maintain the images in the internal list.

Remark: Please note that writing to an icon file is not currently implemented in TCustomIcon (or descendent classes).
