Has anyone tried to implement a watermark on a printout ? If so, would you mind sharing the strategy ? Thanks.

Tim,

Do you want a text watermark (light gray color, or similar) or an image watermark ?
regards, saludos

My client wants a graphic watermark printed in the background. I was thinking of experimenting with using the graphic as a brush and then filling an area in the center of the document page with that brush object.

Tim,

I use a watermark on some of my printouts.

I made a BMP-file, containing the watermark (very light gray). The size of the BMP-file is the same size as the paper I use.

I also use the printer class for reporting.

To put the watermark on my paper, I use :

Code: Select all  Expand view
oPrn:SayBitMap(0,0,"..\BITMAPS\OMEDBMP.BMP",cLength,cWidth)


The BMP-file is zoomed to cLength and cWidth. It is put like a film over my paper.

Works very well.

Hope to have helped you.

Good luck.

The
Regards,
