Easy loading display of jpegs?

[KempCGDR]

Hi, I need an easy way to display jpegs in Delphi (no editing required, just displaying). I have tried just loading it into a TImage component, but it says the file has an unrecognised extension (bitmaps only I guess). So, is there a way to do inline conversion quickly, or a component that will do this? Otherwise I will have to distribute a few hundred megs of bitmaps with my app (not good). Thanks.

I've dug up the TJPEGImage documentation, but I don't get it at all, they nnever just do nice simple code snippets do they? Anyway, it looks like this lets you load jpegs into a TImage, so if anyone has used it, then that'd be great.

var
jpg:TJPEGImage;
begin
jpg:=TJPEGImage.Create;
jpg.LoadFromFile(FileName);
Image1.Picture.Assign(jpg);
jpg.Free;
end;

Thanks a lot, it seems so easy now. The helpfiles can give me whole topics on how to save a jpeg with all the different options, but not a simple four lines of code showing me how to display one. Thanks again.
