An advanced DevExpress image list component.
TcxImageList = class(
TcxCustomImageList
)
An image list is a non-visual component designed to store and manage a collection of images of the same size that you can access by index. Many DevExpress controls use image lists as sources of UI glyphs. The TcxImageList component is derived from the standard TImageList component.
The TcxImageList component ships with the design-time Image List Editor dialog. You can use it to import, manage, export, and browse images.
You can import images from any other image list on the same form at design time. Right-click an image list and click the Assign From menu item, and select the required source image list (a TImageList class descendant instance).
The list below outlines key members of the TcxImageList class. These members allow you to add, rearrange, save, delete, and access images.
