Load image from device without letter...

...such as camera or memory card plug-in to printer. So, these devices are represented as normal device, not a disc and internal disc don't have letter. And LoadFromFile is useless. How to get access to these files?

Hi, whenever i connect a digital camera or a MP3 player or a memory card to my computer, the contents are displayed (in explorer) as a drive with a new letter - i cannot see a problem.

MP3, card reader - ok, but not camera, printer or probably phone too. See image.

normally a drive can have no driveletter in two cases:
1. It is mounted as a folder on another NTFS volume.
2. It is not mounted

in your screenshot you can see the file with an opendialog control, so this code should work:

Delphi-Quellcode:

if OpenDialog1.execute then
begin
    str_path:= ExpandFileName(OpenDialog1.FileName);
    ShowMessage(str_path);
end;

see also ExpandUNCFileName

Don't work, file name from dialog is only file name on device, this function just adds program path to this name and finally file not found.

You're right. sorry.

then you cannot access them that way then you have to user a specific API like TWAIN
