Rich Text not loading images from image field
Hi, I have a database table with a field of type Image. I am using
Delphi's RichText component to store data (including text and images) to
this field. I have used Report Builder's DBRichText component to link to
this field. But when I print the report, the text is displayed correctly,
but it doesnt load the image as well. Is there something else I need to do?
Thanks

Article: ReportBuilder's RichText architecture
----------------------------------------------
The RichText in ReportBuilder is a wrapper around Delphi's TRichEdit which
in turn relies on Windows. 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.
TRichView
----------
TRichView is a suite of native Delphi components for displaying, editing,
and printing hypertext documents. Documents can contain tables, pictures,
and images. TRichView is available from www.trichview.com. There is a
wrapper for available for using TRichView inside ReportBuilder, see
http://www.digital-metaphors.com/Subpages/Downloads/CompanionRCL.html or

I am now using the TRichView component in conjunction with the
ReportBuilder RichView wrapper. It works great.

Thank you for this tip. I got the idea to use TRichView wrapper for
QuickReport and it has solved my problem with Table formatting, which was
caused because QuickReport rich text component does not format colors in
tables. Same thing with Fast Reports.
See my support post for FastReport here:
