background image not printable ?!

rbuser · January 2002

Hi !

I have a small problem and I really can't find an answer (I've checked the
newsgroup, web etc).

I have a background image on the Page Style band...it shows as background on
preview..but what I really need is that it does NOT print. Unchecking the
visible property will of course make it not appear on preview... I'd like
something like a "printable" property of objects, where "visible" would be
only for the preview

any ideas ?

thanks

In the Report.BeforePrint event, you can check the current device type that
the report is going to. Toggle the visibility based on which device is
being used.

uses ppTypes;
...
..
.
if Report.DeviceType = dtScreen then
Image1.Visible := True

else
Image1.Visible := False;

that
Thanks.. it's working fine and seems very logical now.

I've just read a message from a year ago regarding the lack of support for
wheel mouse in RB. Any idea when/if it will be implemented ?

Try downloading the latest driver for the Intellipoint wheel mouse. That
fixed the problem for my M$ mouse. Now I have a Logitech optical mouse, and
it worked out of the box.
