Hello,

I wrote an application where 3 images are loaded in user's browser.
I would like showing images when they're all loaded and not
one by one as they are loaded, as it is the case actually.

How can I do that ?

Eric.

Set all of the TImage components' Visible property to False at design-time.

Attach all of the TImage components' OnLoad event to the same event handler,
and increment a counter in the event handler (the counter can just be a
variable in the form).  When the counter reaches 3, go ahead and set them
all visible.

Tim,

Thanck you. I made a mistake, I was trying to do that with BackGround component. There is a OnLoad event for Timage but it seems that the same event does not exists with TBackground ones (Not published in Component inspector and refused by the compilator).

You will say "you should not use 3 Tbackground" .. Ok

But I was trying to make copying my images more difficult and background images aren't downloadable when user do a right click on it.

Finally users can see their names using Google "inspect élement" and can dowload everything (unscramble code too ...). It's very nice : Nothing can prevent user from duplicating my website elsewhere (code scrambled or not)...

Open in Chrome, F12, look at resources, copy image URL, paste into other tab. So
long as you accept that this is actually not any sort of defence, then carry on...

Not sure if it helps to solve your problem. Of course it isn't 100% secure but for most users sufficient.

Just put a transparent image over the image. When someone save the image they only get the transparent image.

The problem with using a TBackground control is that it has to use a
different internal property (CSS background image) that doesn't surface an
event to detect when the image is loaded.  So, there's really no way
currently to emulate what you want with a TBackground.

What you need is to be able to suppress the context menus, which I've
already got on the enhancement list and should make it in the product soon.
