Preview on the background of a MDI-Form
Hi there,
is it possible to paint the preview of a report to the background of an
mdi-form (not mdi-child).
if i paste a tppviewer on the mdi-form windows sets this (like every other
component) on the foreground... so no more mdi-childs are visible.
i tried to implement this function by several ways, but nothing works... i
think my know-how on painting-stuff is to small.
can someone help me?
i think it is a great feature, to see a preview on the background.
cheers

I think TppViewer.ScreenDevice.PageImage provides access to a bitmap that
contains the page image. You might try using that.

image on the background of an mdi-form....
on serveral pages on the web it's described how to paint such images on bkg,
but it's not what i want.
i don't want my image tiled! i want it painted only once on the center of my
mdi-form, an if the picture is too big to display the whole graphic on my
mdi-form, it has to resize the client area so i can scroll up/down...
i hope i'll find some not buggy trick to do so...
Perhaps try posting a question about "how to paint an image as the
background of an mdi form" to the Delphi newsgroups hosted by Borland.
