Hi Chris and Michel,

you could try it this way (it works perfect for me):
1. show the current (selected) image in the imagescrollbox loading it from disk.
2. show the other images (even a large number) with the ListView component:
a. make a thumbnail-image of every photo and store it in a ClientDataSet.
b. get the key-value of the record in the clientdataset (an auto-increment type)
c. add a listview-item to the listview
d. save the key-value obtained at (b.) in the listitem as an object: aListItem.Data := TObject(keyvalue)
e. associate an empty imagelist with the listview setting width and height to an appropriate value (128)
f. write an onItemDraw eventhandler which retreives the correct image from the clientdataset and paint this image on the canvas of the listview...

Hope this helps,
Niek Bakker
