Watermark in report 2

[florindaniel]

Hello,

Do you know if there's some way to have a watermark printed
on each page of a report. This feature is implemented on some
printers but not on all (unfortunately not on my customer's printers)

The idea is to have some faint picture as the background of
an invoice.
I can not simply include an image because I need that image to stretch over the entire page, not only in one band.

Thank you
Daniel

use an image control and let it start in the header band and go all through to the footer band, set it to strech and set it's height to the paper size.

Bye, Olaf.

set it to strech " that setting I am looking for
in the past hours
I am using VFP9.0 and I have ni such setting.

Thank you
Daniel

Thank you Olaf,

I didn't find "stretch" but it worked when I set the size of the image equal to the page size.

Thank you again
Daniel

From the report controls toolbar you add a Picture/Ole Bound control to the rerpot, don't you?

In the general tab you then see there is the setting "If source and frame are different sizes:" and a combobox below. Default value is "Clip content". Choose "Scale contents, fill the frame" there. That's what I meant by "set it to stretch". Sorry, that I wasn't clear about this. This is something too natural to me, perhaps, that I didn't think of explaining this further.

Bye, Olaf.

Stretch seems more natural to me than Scale contents...
and I'm pretty shure in some previous versions it was like this: stretch.

It works fine now, thank you for help

Daniel

Here is a thread I started long ago where I needed to create a watermark that could be placed in an absolute position on the report. Fortunately, just as that project arose, VFP 9 was released with that capability, prior VFP versions couldn't do that.
