How to make an overlay band cover the whole page?

Uli Gerhardt

Hello all,

I want to place an object (let's say a memo, but might also be a picture) in the center of the page behind all other objects. At the moment I'm using an overlay band and put the memo in it with Align=baCenter, put this doesn't put the memo into the center of the page background as intended. I also tried a lot of other configurations but nothing did the trick.

Can you help me with that issue?

Best regards,
Uli

Set TfrxOverlay.Height = Page.Height

I'm trying

procedure Page1OnBeforePrint(Sender: TfrxComponent);
begin
  Overlay1.Height := Page1.Height;
end;

but get "Undefined identifier 'Height'" for Page1. "Page.Height" doesn't work because "Page" is undefined.

set height of TfrxOverlay band = height of TfrxReport page without margins (by mouse in the FR Designer)
If you use code only - look at Object Inspector (PaperHeight property - height of paper in mm, paper's margins in mm too)
