Hi Felix,

There is no built in way to load an image from the Internet to a report but
you could load it manually perhaps using the DetailBand.BeforePrint event.
Inside this event, you could retrieve the current URL value from the
Report.DataPipeline[] property then using internet connection components,
such as Indy, to download the image object and update a TppImage.Picture
property of the image located in your detail band.

Hi Felix,

Sorry, I was unaware you were using RAP. You will need to create a
pass-thru function to preform a task like this in RAP.

Hi,

How can do a pass-thru function?
if I don?t use rap, how can acces to DetailBand.BeforePrint event?

thanks

nicocizik

There is an example of creating a PassThru function in the ReportBuilder
Developer's Guide located in the \RBuilder\Developer's Guide\ directory.
The DetailBand.BeforePrint event is available in Delphi as are all the other
events available in RAP.
