Showing pictures from DataSet fields in the grid cells

DBGridEh can display images in the data cells in the following formats:
BMP, JPeg,
GIF - From Developer Studio 2007
PNG - From RAD Studio 2009.
To enable the display of graphics data set DBGridEh.DrawGraphicData to True. The grid will display graphical information for the fields of type TGraphicField and TBlobField who BlobType = ftGraphic. By default DBGridEh recognizes only format like TBitmap. For the addition of graphical modules use the property DBGridEh.IncludeImageModules: TIncludeImageModulesEh:

TIncludeImageModuleEh = (

iimJpegImageModuleEh - plug-in to display the data in a format JPeg

iimGIFImageModuleEh - plug-in to display the data in the format of GIF

iimPNGImageModuleEh - plug-in to display the data in PNG

);

This property should only be used in Design-Time compilation via IDE. Setting this property causes the IDE to add additional modules in the uses clause of the Form.

You can also write EhLibImages (EhLibImages.pas) module in the uses clause of your project main Unit to add support for all available graphic Formats.
