Permanent logo in the reports

rbuser

HI,
how to make that some logo would be visible all the time (something like
the header background) when printing from the RB (and on the viewer)

Hi Simonas,

Try using the PageStyle Band. This band will print behind the report on
each page. To activate the Page Style, select the page style option from
the Report main menu option in the Report Designer.

Hi Simonas,

Check out the TppScreenDevice.AddWaterMark method located inside the
ppViewr.pas file. This is the routine we use to add the permenant message
to each page printed in the demo version of ReportBuilder. It essentially
creates a text draw command and adds it to each page before it prints. You
could do something similar in the OnStartPage event of the report.

I am also interested in this ability. Does the AddWaterMark get printed
last, so that it cannot be overritten by a smart user?

Yes, it will be rendered last.

Hi Simonas,

Try using the Report.Engine.Page property.

Hi Simonas,

I found an example that demonstrates how your might do this. Hope this
helps.

So what if they put a white shape over where the watermark will be?

If your drawcommand is added last, then it will rendered over the top of
anything that the user places on the page.

Cool, that's exactly what I was hoping for.
