Hello all,

Although my search about this topic did not show any result I was wondering if there is any way to display a semi transparent text in a FR page. For my demo application I need to display a big "DEMO" word but need transparency so that the plots beneath it to be visible.

Thank you all for your time, I am using the latest FR Standard build for Delphi

Kindest regards

    Hello gordk,

    Thank you for your reply but using the overlay band does not make the text appear in semi transparent, it just overlaps all objects behind it. I am displaying plots in the page so I need a watermark like appearance of my overlay band text. Is this possible?

    Regards

    Hello,

    Does anyone have any idea if this is possible? I need to answer my client for this feature and I really need an official answer so that I know what to do next.

    FR doesn't support semitransparent feature, but you can print overlay band on back
    See attach

    Hello,

    Thank you for your answer. My report pages include a lot of images so the overlay band gets covered by the pictures and the result is quite "ugly". Too bad >

    Try to set TfrxOverlay.PrintOnTop to True

    Unfortunately this is not an option as it also covers the underlying images. There should be a watermark option or band that the user could drop in the report and have the ability to adjust alpha transparency also.
