Background image

I can set a background image to a worksheet?


If so, you can send me an example in Delphi?

 

Hi,

Sorry but setting background images is not supported. The main reason is that background images are unusable in xls, because the image is saved as an uncompressed bmp. So for any non trivial image, you are adding megabytes to the file just for a background image. There is also no control on how the image looks like, it is really a half-backed feature. Every Excel site / forum out there advised very strongly against using background images.

But well, now that you mention it, I've reviewed the xlsx implementation and it is better, at least the file isn't saved as uncompressed bmp. It can be a png, and so the file won't be incredibly big just for a background. This can make the feature usable, so we'll be looking into adding it for a newer FlexCel version.

Ok.


Thank you.
