Watermark Question
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!
Hello!
To resolve your issue, place a text/graphic object labelled ‘PAID’ on the OverlayBand with the following VisibleExpression:
OverlayBand -> TextObject (“PAID”, semi-transparent grey) -> VisibleExpression: [Invoice.AmountRemainingString] == “$0.00”
The OverlayBand is drawn on top of each page as soon as the current invoice is displayed and instantly applies the condition without any delay per page.
