Load an image into this field. This methods have been added to WPTools 8.

 

If You specify the width and height (twips values) the image will be scaled, keeping the original aspect ratio.

 

You can pass negative values for w and h to preserve the width and height of the image currently embedded in the field.

 

If currently no image is in the field, w and h will be used as absolute values.

  begin

   Contents.LoadImageFromFile('c:\a.jpg', -1440, -1440);

  end;

It expects the data in a stream object and the file extension which defines the contents of the stream. For example ".JPG" if it is JPEG data.
