Problem with WMF files

rbuser

I have a report that has a ppDBImage, and I use the following code to set
things up for the image, and it works fine for everything apart from a WMF
file, when I simply get an "Invalid Image" error.

Q1) Am I doing something wrong, or should RB be able to display WMF files?

Q2) Is there a way I can intercept the error message so I can give the user
some indication as to which record in the database the error occured?

Procedure DetailBeforePrint;

var PicType:integer;

begin

Region3.visible:=not (Assets.FieldObjects['PICTURE'].IsNull);

PicType := Assets.FieldObjects['PICTURETYPE'];

case PicType of

1: DBImage1.GraphicType:='Bitmap';

2: DBImage1.GraphicType:='Icon';

3: DBImage1.GraphicType:='Meta;

4: DBImage1.GraphicType:='JPEG';

end;

end;

1. The problem might be with the WMFs itself. How are they being generated?
I've encountered a user who was having problems with WMFs generated by
Illustrator and had to switch to another utility whose output produced valid
results.

2. That depends on which exception is being thrown and what the RB code does
with it. Most exceptions are simply handled and stopped from propagating in
which case you can't do anything when they occur. Some might be reraised in
which case you can use a try-catch statement to catch and handle them
yourself.
