TCustomImageList.Assign procedure

Declaration

procedure Assign(Source: TPersistent); override

Arguments

Description

Assign is an overridden method used to store properties from the specified image list to the current class instance. Assign re-implements the method defined in TPersistent to include properties from TCustomImageList.

Source contains the TCustomImageList instance with the properties stored in the current class instance. No actions are performed in the method when Source is the same as the current class instance (Self).

Assign checks the class instance in Source to determine if it is derived from TCustomImageList. When it is a TCustomImageList descendant, existing resolutions and images in the current class instance are discarded. The following property value are copied from Source to the current image list instance:

• Height
• Width
• Resolutions

The Resolutions enumerator in Source is used to get images for each image resolution and to reallocate the storage used for its raw image data. System.Move is called to copy the raw image data for the resolution from Source to the current class instance.

When Source is not derived from TCustomImageList, the inherited Assign method is called using Source as an argument.
