True, but images and text are not rendered using the same Win API commands.
There is a Win API function called GrayString, check out the definition for
it in the Windows SDK help. Why would this function be needed if gray text… -
RB tries to determine whether the printer can handle gray scale text and if

Its a mapping problem. Typically with a tool such as ReportBuilder you have
some structured data (database table or comma-delimited text file, or in
memory data structure) and you build a report layout that maps the data into

below). Also there is an example in our Developers Guide Tutorial that
creates a tax form. That form is a wmf.

The recommended approach is to use a TDatabase component and configure it to
use the Alias. Configure the Designer to use the TDatabase component. Then
you can change the Alias without affecting the report.

You would need to modify the source code to accomplish that. See
ppViewr.pas, teh method

I think what that code should give you is a 'reportAssocRanking.raf'.
You then need to use the ReportBuilder ArchiveReader component to
preview/print the .raf

Just to clarify. There is actually support for this now - though it is
limited to setting font related properties from the Format Toolbar. You can
select any number of components and use the Format toobar to select the font <…
1. For an example check out RBuilder\Demos\DLL

C++, VB, etc..., I recommend using Delphi's package architecture.

property provides access to the Workspace, which is a TPanel descendant.

it detects a valid file name, it will load the image file.
When a report is saved, the names of the event-handler methods that you
