How to add a Watermark?

Hey guys,

could you provide a sample, how to add a watermark during runtime?
I've looked around, but couldn't find examples.

Which libraries do i have to import?

Kind regards

Hello,

You can use the following code:
report.Pages[0].Watermark.Angle = 45;
report.Pages[0].Watermark.Text = "MyWatermark";
...

Can you please describe your task in details?

Thank you.

Hi Aleksey,

ok, my problem was, that i programmed in VB.Net and didn't replace these '[' with these '('.
I dont get an error report now, but also the water mark is not shown. is it possible, that this is because i use the demo files?

Kind regards

Hi Mietzekotze,

you have to set the watermark enabled.

report.Pages(0).Watermark.Enabled = true

Cheers

Hey Stephan,

doesn't work, either. Probably it's something really stupid i forget. I have this:

report.Pages(0).Watermark.Enabled = True
report.Pages(0).Watermark.Angle = 45
report.Pages(0).Watermark.Text = "MyWatermark"

before i load the report. Do i have to mind something else?

What you mean with before load ?

before using StiReport.Load(filename) ?

if so, you have to set the watermark after loading the report. If you set it before loading it will be overwritten by loading the report.

thx
