Displaying Picture on a Form and Report

[Wendz]

Hello to all! I have a question. How do you display a jpg picture on a report and form. Example the picture has a similar basename on one of your records like code ser-men sermen.jpg. Thanks and More Power to All!

Do you want the jpg to be changed on the fly? It is no big deal on a form. It is a bit more trouble in a report. Or am I completely missing your question?

If you are working with VFP5 or lower you have to transform the .JPG to a .BMP
If you are working with VFP6 you don’t .
Each object have the Picture property where you can choose the file image that you what over you Form.
In a report you have a icon that allow you stick image file over the reports, this icon is called IMAGE and is in the tool screen, also allow you do the same in a from.

If you want to print a report with a Textbox on top of an image, set the mode of the Textbox to transparent, and send the image to back.

The same applies to the form, setting .TextBox.BackStyle = 0 and .TextBox.BorderStyle = 0, and send the image to back.

You can produce attractive effects like this.
