Delphi : Load png to TBitmap

HI there good friends, for those of you who would like to get load a jpeg image and then load the data to a TBitmap object, here is a neat good trick to get it done :

procedure TForm1.btn1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
	bmp : TBitmap;
begin
    if(dlgOpenPic1.Execute()) then
    begin
        img1.Picture.LoadFromFile(dlgOpenPic1.FileName);

        bmp := TBitmap.Create;
        try
            bmp.Width := img1.Picture.Width;
            bmp.Height := img1.Picture.Height;

            bmp.Canvas.Draw(0, 0, img1.Picture.Graphic);

            Canvas.Draw(btn1.Left, btn1.Top + btn1.Height + 20, bmp);
        finally
            bmp.Free;
        end;
    end;
end;

Just dont forget to include the jpeg unit if you want to work with the jpegs, and for delphi 2009 and up you could add the PNGImage to work with png files on your delphi project

Have fun dear friends! ;)

WEBOS : Google map doesn't recognize your location?

A simple solution to that but might be not permanent is because of the latitude mode problem on the native google map application, me too had those similar problem, and browsing the web give me one solution that worked like charm ;)

Open your browser, clear your cache
hen go to the following address : http://maps.google.com/maps/m?mode=latitude


Google map application will open automaticly
and voila..
we had our location detected flawlessly.


Hints for the geek :
