I am using vfp 8.
I just managed to print images in the detail band using only stored path
names.
However, the images have different heights and neither clip nor scale are
satisfactory solutions.
Clip will not guarantee that the entire image will show, and if the image is
low a lot of space will appear before the next record. Scale will blow up
small images and look ugly.
Any ideas what to do?
Sincerely,
Jan Nordgreen
PS:
The report's view was called vviewtest and had a field vviewtest.imagepath
with the complete path of a picture. Most of the records had
vviewtest.imagepath empty. To get the images to print in the detail band, I
added a picture control with 'Picture from file' set to
'vviewtest.imagepath' and 'object position' to 'float'.
In 'Print when' I checked 'remove line if blank' (if not the frame would
always take up space, even when empty) and for 'Print only when expression
is true' I put 'not empty(vviewtest.imagepath)' (if not, the report wouldn't
even be created).
