    Trying to write some code for C++ Builder 4.

    I'm trying to dynamically create images for this GUI for a game editor.

    The problem at the moment is how do I create an image from nothing?

    I can use an image dialog box to choose a file for the desired location, however how do I display that on the screen?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    This is what I have at the moment (I'm using the standard shapes at the moment till I can figure this out)


    void __fastcall TfrmMain::imgMainInterfaceMouseDown(TObject *Sender,
    TMouseButton Button, TShiftState Shift, int X, int Y)
    {
    if (Drawing == True)
    {
    imgMainInterface->Canvas->Rectangle(X, Y, X + 10, Y + 10);
    Drawing = false;
    txtObjectXCoord->Text = X;
    txtObjectYCoord->Text = Y;
    }
    }

    txtObjectXCoord is a text box which displays the X co-ordinates, ditto for txtObjectYCoord.

    Is it possible to copy an image from a file to the C++ window?
    I cant find anything in the help files but then they are pretty ****e (on various occasions they seem to be help files for Delphi).
    Any website links or anything would be awesome either
