Images in DbTRichEdit

rbuser

I use Delphi 7.1, RB 7.04, Fibs, Jedi TDbRichEdit and Firebird 1.5.
I'm able to insert, view and store into blob field a rtf file with images,
but when I try to print a report images disappear. RB can print RTF with
images?

Hello,

You will need to use one of these rich text add-ons to add images to a
TppDBRichText.

----------------------------------------------
Article: ReportBuilder's RichText Architecture
----------------------------------------------


The RichText in ReportBuilder is a wrapper around Delphi's TRichEdit
which
in turn relies on Windows. There are two versions of Windows richedit -
RichEd32.dll is the older one and RichEd20.dll is a newer one (RichEd32
is being phased out). Delphi by default relies on RichEd32 - the older
version. To use some of the more advanced features of Windows RichEdit,
see the topic on InfoPower RichEdit Support below.

In general Windows RichEdit supports the type of formatting that you can
do using WordPad.



InfoPower RichEdit Support
---------------------------
InfoPower from Woll2Woll Software is a popular database add-on product
for Delphi. InfoPower's TwwRichEdit components support the Windows
RichEdit2 format. This format allows the rich text data to contain
embedded bitmaps and OLE objects. For more information please see
http:\\www.Woll2Woll.com.

ReportBuilder includes a component that enables the TppRichText and
TppDBRichText controls in ReportBuilder to use the formatting
capabilities of InfoPower's TwwRichEdit when rendering RTF data. The
ppWWRichEd.pas unit located in the ..\RBuilder\InfoPower directory
defines a TwwDBRichEdit descendant and then registers the class with
ReportBuilder. This enables the TppRichText and TppDBRichText controls
in ReportBuilder to use the formatting capabilities of TwwDBRichEidt
when rendering data.


WPTools Support
----------------
WPTools is a collection of components used to edit and print
formatted text. With its own RTF engine, WPTools offers
numerous features not supported by the standard Windows
RichEd20.dll. This control lets you use tables, paragraph
frames, headers and footers etc. Using the optional
ReportBuilder support units for WPTools 2.x, you can print
the enhanced WPTools features (justified text, tables, graphics
...) within your ReportBuilder reports.
For more information please see http:\\www.wptools.de.

I use JEDI 3 (FREE) components where there is TJvDbRichEdit that support
RTF with images, why I have to buy another product? it's possible that
reportbuilder make a wrapper for this component? I think that there are more
developers that use Jedi instead infopower!

Hello,

Thanks for the feedback. Perhaps in a future release we will look at
creating built-in support for JEDI.

I'd suggest you look at the ppWWRichEd.pas file RB supplies for linking with
InfoPower components. It is quite simple and should be easy to adapt for the
JEDI component.

I saw that pas but it call wwRichEd.
