TppShape's background color prints wrong with Brush.Style property set to bsDiagCross

rbuser

Hello, everybody!
What I'm using: Delphi 2005 and ReportBuilder?9.01.
I have a TppShape in my report and I set its Brush.Style property to
bsDiagCross. The background color of the shape is white and I can see
the lines crossing in the designer and in the preview at runtime, but
when I print the report the background color of the shape becomes black,
not white. I really have no idea about what's hapenning.
How can I solve this problem?
Thank you very much.

Marcos

Hi Marcos,

This issue was solved for ReportBuilder 10.0 however it re-appeared in later
versions. It will be fixed for the next maintenance release of
ReportBuilder (10.04).

Is there any workaround that I can do? I'm afraid I won't be able to
upgrade to RB 10.04 as I have other third party components that depends
on Delphi 2005.
Thank you.

Hi Marcos,

Unfortunately I am unaware of any workarounds at this time. The issue with
the brush style is that there is a Windows defined color behind it. When
the brush style is one that can be seen through, this color is exposed.
Some printers seem to have this color defaulted to black. You may be able
to use the SetBKColor and SetBKMode windows API routines in an event before
the shape prints to override this behavior.
