DBRichViewEdit.BackgroundBitmap vs PNG
Posted: Wed Jul 01, 2009 7:02 pm
With D2009 supporting several image formats including PNG, is there a way to save the background image of a DBRichViewEdit as something other than a bitmap?
My database sits over a TCPIP socket in a central location with both a windows client and a browser client. The Windows client has problems saving detailed images because of the amount of time it takes to transfer the binary data in bitmap form.
I currently load images using a TPicture and redraw them to a TBitmap.Canvas.Draw(). This makes a very large chunk of data. Some images can be extremely large such as x-rays and MRI images.
Is there some other way to store a background in RVE? I need to allow for text to be typed over the images.
