Is there a way to print different type of image on the same report? I have images store in the database in JPEG, BMP, TIFF, etc... Is reportbuilder able to print it automatically or do I have to code it and how would I do it.
The TppDBImage component supports Bitmap, JPEG, windows metafile, and icon types out of the box.
You can set the GraphicType property of the DBImage in the DetailBand.BeforePrint event if you have different types of images stored in the image field of your table.
All other image formats will have to be converted to these formats to use TppImage. We also have support to use GIF in the TppImage componen, but not in the TppDBImage component. You will have to create an instance of a GIFImage and load the GIF into a non-data aware TppImage at runtime.
I was hoping for the automatic way instead of setting it manually I guess I will have to create another field to identify the image type in the table. Thanks.
