Chris, I think I solved my problem with the help of your suggestion. I was able to produce transparent images with ImageMagick. I did not bother to compose all my images into one image. I just do the usual report designing but using gif images with transparency defined However, a plain call to...

I guess there is no way of doing the image composition on the fly. I might as well do a "print form" (make the design in the form and print it using the techniques I have learned in this forum). Tried tweaking the report by use of ReportListener but only text if affected by the fillAlpha...

I would like to use a photo image, a signature image, and a main background image in my report. The main background image will be overlapped with both the photo image and the signature image. For the photo image, it is alright to eclipse the main background image but for the signature image...

Many thanks Borislav. Just tried it and its works without an error (unlike when using regsvr32 which is only for dll and ocx files which I found out just now - thanks to you). What a relief, I thought I would distribute this COM server with the full VFP IDE just to register it!!!

I can not seem to make the regsvr32.exe to work in registering a VFP COM Server exe file (with a class that is declared OLEPUBLIC). Is it not the right utility to use? Can we do the registering programmatically? What is the best approach?

Hi all, Anybody here who can help me in developing a freehand drawing program? The pen would be the mouse while the paper would be a small window with a white background. I would like to capture the mouse coordinates, translate it into freehand lines, then save it to a bitmap file. I am having...

Thanks Mike for the information. What I like to know now is how do I generate a DBCS that I can convert to UNICODE. I just like to produce UNICODE characters for assignment into a variable. I do not intend to convert FROM UNICODE but to convert TO UNICODE. But as you said, it may not be...

Hi everyone, I stumbled into a Java Script program which I want to reprogram in VFP. It had an array constant populated with some unicode characters. I would like to know how I would do it in VFP. I cant seem to figure out how to use the function strconv() for this purpose. True, the...

Thanks for putting worth into my question. However, I would not want my application to be maximized. It is just a utility application. It is called from another application (not coded in VFP) and made to appear as if it is part of that application. I do not want users do anything to the...

Hi all, Want to ask anybody who knows how to make a VFP form (AlwaysOnTop = .T.-True; ShowWindow = 2-As Top-Level Form; WindowType = 1-Modal) system modal. My application type is Top-Level and _Screen.Visible = .F.-False. What I want to do is when the form opens, I wont be able to do anything...

This is in relation to Thread184-746749 (How to create a class with only the properties & methods you specify?). I would like to initialize the properties UserData and UserDataHeader so that its data type would not be considered undefined in VFP7. Below is their entry in the IDL of a COM...

I anticipate someone will inform me that is so. I will be posting another question with a relevant title but which is in relation to the problem I have posted before this (Thread184-741015) which is error 1440 (OLE exception error "name". OLE object may be corrupt.) The reason for...

Posted again for reference to my latest post as follow-up to my question.

This post is in relation to the post entitled "How to resolve Error 1440 in VFP7? (No such thing in VB6 equivalent)" - thread184-741015 I think I found the cause of Error 1440. I believe it is due to uninitialized properties whose data type is undefined. I have read all the...
