Trouble with Images

rbuser

I am trying to create a simple report to demo the printing of images (jpeg).
My datasource is a query containing an outer join as we may have 0 or many
images stored for a given parent. I have dropped a DBImage component in my
detail band, but the image gets compressed to size of the DBImage and when a
row has not image I get white space for the DBImage component.

I am looking to print the image to its actual size and eliminate the white
space if no image is present.

Any advice?

Thanks,
Bob

Hi Bob,

don't use the stretch property (but size it enough to hold the whole image)
and set it to transparent, this way I see my pictures in its size without
white space.

Chris,

Unfortunately, that does not help, I am still experiencing the same
results... images are compressed to the size of the DBImage box and rows
without images are showing white space for the box.

Also, I know the size of the image I am printing, but I do not know the size
of the images that our customers may be storing, so I need to be able to
produce the sample report without being concerned about the size of the
image.
