Create Overlay Band with Code

FrankM

Hello,

i try to add a Overlay Section with Code.
I found one Artikel from FR2.0 but i can not translate this to the FR.Net C# Version.
What i will do is to put a Background Piture behind each Formular.

Is there some Sample Code, or another way to do that?

Regards, Frank

Hello,

You can look at the sample project in the Demos\C#\ReportFromCode folder.
To create an Overlay band, use the following code:

page.Overlay = new OverlayBand();
page.Overlay.Height = ...;
page.Overlay.CreateUniqueName();

Hi,

sorry for my Beginners Questions,
I have look at the samples, but not readable with VS C#Express is this right?

I can generate a Report with:

FastReport.Report report = new FastReport.Report();
FastReport.ReportPage page1 = new FastReport.ReportPage();
page1.Name = "Page1";
report.Pages.Add(page1);

page1.Overlay = new FastReport.OverlayBand();
page1.Overlay.Name = "Overlay1";
page1.Overlay.Height = 10 * 1.5f;

report.Design();

But how to do this by a existing Report?

FastReport.Report report = new FastReport.Report();
report.Load(@E:\fx1.frx);

report.Pages[0].Overlay= new FastReport.OverlayBand(); ??

report.Design();

I don't have VS Express. The project was created using VS 2005 Professional.

To add an overlay band to the existing report:

FastReport.Report report = new FastReport.Report();
report.Load(@"E:\fx1.frx");

FastReport.ReportPage page1 = report.Pages[0] as FastReport.ReportPage;

page1.Overlay = new FastReport.OverlayBand();
page1.Overlay.Name = "Overlay1";
page1.Overlay.Height = ...;
