2. Components in the Demo and what they do
There are two panels. One is at the top, containing the button for the picture choise. In the middle there is a Scroll box component (for scrolling) and a Timage component inside it for the chosen picture. At the bottom there is another panel again, containing the TMemo component . All combined they create the windows that shows up with button, image and text at the bottom.
Clicking on the button executes the TOpenPictureDialog component which opens a dialog for selecting a picture. The selected picture is loaded in an TImage component and shown on the main empty window.
