TImageEnIO.SaveToFileICO

Declaration

procedure SaveToFileICO(const FileName: WideString);

Description

Saves the current image to a file in ICO format. ICO format allows storing multiple images with different resolutions and sizes.

FileName is the file name including extension.
ImageEn creates for you the sub-images to save, you have only to set the Params.ICO_BitCount and Params.ICO_Sizes arrays.
To control each image separately, use the IEWriteICOImages function.

Note:
◼ If an internal save error is encountered Aborting will return true. Saving issues due to insufficient write permissions and disk write failures will raise an exception.
◼ To abort while saving set Aborting to true

Example

// Save the current image as 'output.ico'. It will contain three images with 64x64 32bit (24bit + alphachannel), 32x32 256 colors and 32x32 16 colors

// 64 x 64 x 32bit
ImageEnView.IO.Params.ICO_BitCount[0] := 32;
ImageEnView.IO.Params.ICO_Sizes[0].cx := 64;
ImageEnView.IO.Params.ICO_Sizes[0].cy := 64;

// 32 x 32 x 8bit
ImageEnView.IO.Params.ICO_BitCount[1] := 8;
ImageEnView.IO.Params.ICO_Sizes[1].cx := 32;
ImageEnView.IO.Params.ICO_Sizes[1].cy := 32;

// 32 x 32 x 4bit
ImageEnView.IO.Params.ICO_BitCount[2] := 4;
ImageEnView.IO.Params.ICO_Sizes[2].cx := 32;
ImageEnView.IO.Params.ICO_Sizes[2].cy := 32;

// Specify end of images
ImageEnView.IO.Params.ICO_BitCount[3] := 0;
ImageEnView.IO.Params.ICO_Sizes[3].cx := 0;
ImageEnView.IO.Params.ICO_Sizes[3].cy := 0;

// Save
ImageEnView.IO.SaveToFile('D:\output.ico');
