Hi guys, This my scenario, I would like to use the report control to output to a printer the following format (e.g. print a receipt) which i push to a report control row. The tags are replaced with values from the database and additionally i add a watermarkbitmap to act as the logo. The problem is i cannot print more than one cheque/receipt per page since you can only load one bitmap on the RC per report and not per row. Currently i am using the standard format but i would like to apply markup so that i can also add styling to the text (e.g bold the titles) and probably add a logo that appears on every row. Has someone does this? anyhelp is really appreciated. TIA,. VAT: <VATNUMBER> PIN: <PINNUMBER> NAME: <ADDRESS> <RECEIPTNO> BEING PAYMENT OF PAYMENT MODE: <PAYMODE> <CURRENCY> <RATES> <AMOUNT> <WORDS> RECEIVED WITH THANKS AUTHORISED SIGNATORY ____________________ ------------- Product: Xtreme SuitePro (ActiveX) version 13.1 Platform: Windows XP SP 3 Language: Visual Basic 6 SP6 |

ReportControl Is not must be used for this kind of things... i recommend you to use a Report Renderer Control, like crystal reports or Active Reports... also, you can try to generate HTML code save to a file... and then print them using a third party control like webbrowser inet activex ( or something like that, from microsoft), you only could print "tables" "recordsets" "grids" "rows-records" using print's method of RC... not "form like" designed data templates. ------------- Product: Xtreme SuitePro (ActiveX) version 11.

Thanks braian, Av got my reasons why i wud like it particularly with the report control. For one, codejock tools make my app pretty light compared to adding third party controls like CrystalReports. More so, i have built a report designer built around RC and thus i just wud like to enhance it by using the Markup that RC support. I wud be glad to know if i can still implement the above using Markup. regards, ------------- Product: Xtreme SuitePro (ActiveX) version 13.1 Platform: Windows XP SP 3 Language: Visual Basic 6 SP6 |

This is what i'm doing, I hope it help: 1 - I use VS2010 to create the basic layout of each column of my report. I can create everything in a single cell or in several pieces. 2- I use "Codejock's MarkupPad" to verify the compatibility of XAML tags from VS. 3 - I change XAML code to add to my Tags : Image Column : <Grid Height="100" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Name="Grid1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="150"> <Border Height="100" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Name="Border1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="150" Background="White" BorderBrush="#FF1FA3EB" BorderThickness="0,0,0,0"> <Image Name="Image1" Stretch="Uniform" Width="140" Source="<<D04_032_M>>" Margin="2" Height="76" /> </Border> </Grid> Info Column : <Grid Height="100" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Name="Grid1" Width="550"> <TextBlock Height="47" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="399,5,0,0" Name="TextBlock6" Text="<<D03_002_C>>" TextWrapping="Wrap" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="95" /> <TextBlock Height="43" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="399,60,0,0" Name="TextBlock4" Text="<<T21_002_C>>" TextWrapping="Wrap" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="95" /> <TextBlock Foreground="#FF1FA3EB" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="20" Margin="5,5,0,0" Name="TextBlock2" Text="<<D04_008_C>>" Width="384" /> <TextBlock HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="20" Margin="5,60,0,0" Name="TextBlock1" Text="<<D04_001_C>>" Width="290" /> </Grid> 4 - I set up the RC properties to work with XAML
Finnaly - I merge the Database Information with XAML. In my case I'm usign MS Visual Foxpro : item(1).caption = TextMerge(Image Column ) item(2).caption = TextMerge(Info Column ) -----  ------------- wlcabral |
