I am trying to add an Image Layer that contains the current image from the clipboard:

ImageEnViewDummy.Proc.PasteFromClipboard();
  var NewLayer := ImageEnViewMain.LayersAdd(ielkImage);
  ImageEnViewMain.Layers[NewLayer].Assign(ImageEnViewDummy.Layers[0]);
  ImageEnViewMain.Layers[NewLayer].Selectable := True;
  ImageEnViewMain.Layers[NewLayer].Selected := True;
  ImageEnViewMain.MouseInteractLayers := [mlMoveLayers, mlResizeLayers, mlRotateLayers];


1. The Image Layer is created with the image from the clipboard. However, the Layer cannot be moved, resized, or rotated. Nor does it have any handles. Why?

2. Isn't there a simple built-in method to add an Image Layer that contains the current image from the clipboard?

I've solved the problem. This now works:

ImageEnViewDummy.Proc.PasteFromClipboard();
  var NewLayer := ImageEnViewMain.LayersAdd(ielkImage);
  ImageEnViewMain.Layers[NewLayer].Bitmap.Assign(ImageEnViewDummy.IEBitmap);
  ImageEnViewMain.MouseInteractLayers := [mlMoveLayers, mlResizeLayers, mlRotateLayers];


1. Why the previous version didn't work?

2. The question remains: Isn't there a simple built-in method to add an Image Layer that contains the current image from the clipboard?

Hi Peter

By default, Layer 0 (background) does not have a visible selection border (VisibleBox = False). Your call:

  ImageEnView1.Layers[NewLayer].Assign(ImageEnViewDummy.Layers[0]);


Assigns the layer properties of the ImageEnViewDummy background to the new layer, so VisibleBox = False. You could just assign the bitmap:

  ImageEnView1.Layers[NewLayer].Bitmap.Assign(ImageEnViewDummy.Layers[0].Bitmap);


But an easier method is just:

  ImageEnView1.LayersCreateFromClipboard();
