ppDBRichText and images

rbuser

We're using Reportbuilder Enterprise Edition, 10.07, with Delphi 2007.

We've allowed images and such to be embedded into our RichText fields, and
they do display in our reports using a ppDBRichText. However, the component
doesn't stretch and instead subsequent records are printed over top of the
images. Is there anything I can do to prevent this?

The RichText/DBRichText componenents internally rely upon the Windows API
call to measure, format and render. The Windows documentation does not
mention how embedded COM objects are treated. If you want to submit a test
case you can submit to support@digital-metaphors.com - we can look at it,
but I do not know whether there is any solution - it might be a limitation.

One workaround would be to set Stretch to False when using embedded COM
objects in RichText.
