DBImage - GraphicType JPEG

rbuser

Hi,

For a application we store photographs of parts in a database, the image is
stored in JPEG format.

When we create a report and want to print the photo on a report, there will
raise an exception that the field isn't a correct Bitmap. These exception
makes sense, but is there an option the specifiy JPEG as graphictype for a
DBImage field. I have looked trough the sourcefiles and found an unit to
register JPEG as a type. ppJPEG.pas, but I can't figure out how to enable
JPEG support on DBImage

Version info:

Delphi 2005
Reportbuilder 11.0
Firebird Database - Photo is a Blobfield

Best Regards,

1. Include ppJPEG in the 'uses' clause of your application. This will
register the RB JPEG support.

2. Set TppDBImage.GraphicType to 'JPEG'
