A company I consult for took over a complex VFP program still used in the Shutter manufacturing industry. One report in particular has me stumped: the report contains several very small two-letter captions (eg TP). When the report is called, those captions somehow turn into images or drawings via GDIPlus. I was curious how that 'substitution' is done, I always thought a caption was hard-coded text that was permanent. Is it how GDIPlus is designed to work? Also, below the drawing there is always wording describing the image - is that wording passed to GDIPlus when its called? For people with past experience with GDIPlus, what's the learning curve (in terms of time) to become familiar with using it in VFP at a basic level? I'm not sure the company wants me to spend a 1/2 day getting familiar with it just to solve one tech support issue. Thanks very much.
