Background as tile

edited October 2002 in Component Writing
Hello,

Is it possible to put an image onto PageStyle band and make it be printed as
tile, as windows' desktop does?

Thanks for any hints!

Best regards,

Leo Kaploun

    I assume you want to print an image of the same height and width over and
    over again without having to resize it. You can place a subreport in the
    pagestyle band. Don't connect it to a data pipeline. Then set
    Subreport.Report.AutoStop = False. Set Subreport.Report.PageLimit = 1. Then
    defin ecolumns in your subreport so that the image will fit to the width
    exactly in each column. Then set the subreport's Detailband.ColumnTraversal
    proeprty to LeftToRight. Now place an image in the detail band and it should
    print as if it were tiled for the entire page as a tiled background.
