Question

the code

begin
  inc(i);
  ImageList1.GetIcon(i mod 4,Image1.Picture.Icon);
end;

procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);

  i:=0;
  ImageList1.GetIcon(i mod 4,Image1.Picture.Icon);

Answer 1

procedure TForm1.Image1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  icon: TIcon;
begin
  inc(i);
  Image1.Canvas.FillRect(ClientRect);      
  icon := TIcon.Create;
  try
    ImageList1.GetIcon(i mod 4, icon);
    DrawIconEx(Image1.Canvas.Handle, 0, 0, icon.Handle, Image1.Width, Image1.Height, 0, 0, DI_NORMAL);
  finally
    icon.Free;
  end
end;

Better Approach

Sometimes it is a bit awkward to use Delphi since the extent of cooperation between the VCL and the native Windows API is somewhat unclear. If the above code doesn't work (I get the feeling it is leaking icons), here is a pure native approach (uses ImgList, CommCtrl):

procedure TForm1.Image1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  icon: HICON;
begin
  inc(i);
  Image1.Canvas.FillRect(ClientRect);
  icon := ImageList_GetIcon(ImageList1.Handle, i mod 4, ILD_NORMAL);
  try
    DrawIconEx(Image1.Canvas.Handle, 0, 0, icon, Image1.Width, Image1.Height, 0, 0, DI_NORMAL);
  finally
    DestroyIcon(icon);
  end
end;
