ppImage, Transparent color not honoured for Bitmap.

rbuser

Hi,

I load a Delphi TImage with a Transparent Bitmap, and set transparency to
true.
The TImage displays correctly in delphi XE on a from at runtime, and
designtime.

I then assign this image to a ppImage in a report using the following code:
ppImage1.Picture.Assign(MainForm.Image1.Picture);

The Violet transparent color displays as a violet background, instead of as
transparent.

This also happens if I fille the ppImage1 at designtime with the Picture.
This in spite of the transparency set to true.

I then tried the following without effect:
ppImage1.Picture.Bitmap.TransparentColor := TColor($FF00FB);

Why does Delphi T-image honopur the transparency, by default, but the
ppImage does not for a Transparent Bitmap.

Hi Adrian,

Which version of ReportBuilder and Delphi are you using?

Are you seeing this behavior on screen or printed to the printer (or
both). If you change printer drivers do you get the same behavior? As
a test, try setting the Image.DirectDraw property to True and see if
that helps.
