Watermark Question

m_lyons

Hello everyone,

I have set up a watermark text in my report, but I can't get it to only display when needed.

I have an If event that does trigger, but the watermark enabled property doesn't change, so I wanted to see if anyone that has worked with Watermark before knows of any quirks with it?

When the if fires true, I have Page1.Watermark.Enabled = true.

When the if fires false, I leave the watermark disabled.

But the enabled state never changes. Has anyone else experienced this?

I appreciate the help!

I'm simply trying to show a "PAID" watermark on an invoice if a text field is a $ 0 value so this should be pretty simple.

Thanks Again!

Hi, I have the same question and don't find updated doc or solution. Months are gone since you post your question, did your receive and answer or found a solution that could help me? Thanks in advance @m_lyons 😕

Hi DeepDive,

Sorry, I just saw your message. If you're still working on this, I had to create a png and add it to the project resources.

In the code building the form I have:

Image PaidWatermark = Properties.Resources.ReportWaterMarkPaid;

report.SetParameterValue("paid", PaidWatermark);

In the Report Code I have:

  private void Page1_StartPage(object sender, EventArgs e)

  {

   if (((String)Report.GetColumnValue("Invoice.AmountRemainingString")) == "$0.00")

   {

    //BalanceTB.Text = "$ 0.00";

    Page1.Watermark.Enabled = true;

   }

   else

   {

    //BalanceTB.Text = "$ 0.00";

    Page1.Watermark.Enabled = false;

   }

  }

Hope that helps!
