Description

Fills the ImageEnMView with files from the specified Directory. For each file ImageFileName will be set with the full path and ImageBottomText with the filename.
You can cancel the insertion of files by setting MIO.Aborting := True;

Parameter	Description	Default
Directory	The folder to search for files	Required
FileTypes	Specify the types of files to include
Limit	The maximum number of images to load. Use -1 to retrieve all files	-1
AllowUnknownFormats	If false (default) only known and supported file formats are loaded. Otherwise all files are loaded	False
ExcludeExtensions	A comma separated list of file extensions to skip (e.g. 'lyr,all,iev')	''
DetectFileFormat	If true then the image type is detected by reading the header (which can be slow). Otherwise ImageEn only checks the file extension	False
FilterMask	Limits the fill to file extensions found in a comma separated list (e.g. 'jpg,jpeg,jpe'). Specify an empty string to return all supported extensions	''
bIncludeVideoFiles	If AllowUnknownFormats is false then video files are excluded by default. Set to true to include supported video file types such as AVI and MPEG. Thumbnails for video files will be retrieved from Windows Explorer if the format is specified in MViewExplorerThumbnailExts	False
LoadOnDemand	If True (Default), images are only loaded as they are displayed (i.e. not until they are scrolled into view). Set to false to load all images immediately	True
DefaultTopText	Specify the text that is applied to ImageTopText	iedtNone
DefaultInfoText	Specify the text that is applied to ImageInfoText	iedtNone
DefaultBottomText	Specify the text that is applied to ImageBottomText	iedtFilename
bShowHiddenFiles	Enable to include hidden and system files	False
bShowFolders	Enable to include folders	False
FilenameFilter	Limits the file to filenames that contain text specified by FilenameFilter (see Filter for more detail)	''

Note:
◼Does NOT clear existing content. Use Clear first to replace existing content
◼More functionality for the display of thumbnails of file folders is available with TImageEnFolderMView
◼If an invalid folder is specified an exception is raised
◼If you want to change text values after filling (e.g. with DefaultBottomText), you should specify iedtNone for the Default*Text parameters

Examples

ImageEnMView1.Clear();

ImageEnMView1.FillFromDirectory( 'C:\Images\' );

// Which is the same as:
ImageEnMView1.FillFromDirectory( 'C:\Images\', iefAllImages );

// Get images and videos
ImageEnMView1.FillFromDirectory( 'C:\Images\', iefAllImagesAndVideos );

// Get all files
ImageEnMView1.FillFromDirectory( 'C:\Images\', iefAllFiles );

// Get only JPEG images
ImageEnMView1.FillFromDirectory( 'C:\Images\', iefCustom, '*.jpg;*.jpeg;' );

// To make it easier to change the text values, specify iedtNone at the time of filling
ImageEnMView1.FillFromDirectory( 'C:\Images\', iefAllImages, '', True, iedtNone, iedtNone, iedtNone );
ImageEnMView1.DefaultTopText := iedtFilename;
ImageEnMView1.DefaultInfoText := iedtNone;
ImageEnMView1.DefaultBottomText := iedtImageDimAndSize;
