image in Timage in the form opening

[ReinaldoSergioPTBR]

I am trying to place an image in Timage in the form opening, as the code below:

procedure TfArrastarSoltar.FormShow(Sender: TObject);
Begin
  img.Picture.LoadFromFile('edit');
End;

It's just giving the following error:
Unable to open file ''edit''

can anyone solve

Hi!

First you should set the path to your file correct:

/your/path/to/file/example.png  (linux) or
Y:\your\path\to\file\exmple.png (window)

Next: every graphic file has an ending like .png, .jpg, .tif ....
Often this endings are used to identify the type of file.

And in case of linux of upper and lower case letter: "Edit" is different from "edit"

And last: you should not put the loading of the file in FormShow:

If you minimise your app and put it again into the normal size, the file is loaded again.

Put it in FormCreate or FormActivate.
