Watermark your reports with GdiPlusX

here's a reportlistener that generates watermark pictures in reports.

very simple to setup, just set some properties, like the logo image, width and height ratio, transparency ratio.

 

do locfile("system.app")

local lolistener as reportlistener
lolistener = createobject("watermarklistener")
lolistener.listenertype = 1
lolistener.watermarkimage = addbs(home()) + "graphics\gifs\morphfox.gif"
lolistener.watermarktype = 2 && 1 = colored ; 2 = greyscale
lolistener.watermarktransparency = 0.25 && 0 = transparent ; 1 = opaque
lolistener.watermarkwidthratio = 0.75 && 0 - 1
lolistener.watermarkheightratio = 0.75 && 0 - 1

* run the report using the new report engine (object-assisted output)
report form (addbs(home()) + "samples/solution/europa/employeesmd.frx") object lolistener
return

 

below are some samples generated by the watermarklistener class. (source code at the end of this post)

 

important
requires vfp9 and gdiplusx to run. 
please make sure that you have the latest version!
