Report Engine and PDF Library: Example code in Visual Basic using the ActiveX

The following example uses a VPE Report Engine ActiveX Control named "Report".

The method Picture inserts an image, four coordinates are supplied: (left, top, right, bottom). The parameter "VFREE" instructs VPE to compute the given coordinate for a text or image itself.

With WriteDoc the document is written by the integrated PDF Library as PDF file, and finally the call to the method Preview shows the preview window.

Private Sub Form_Load()

Report.OpenDoc
Report.Print 1.5, 1, "Hello World!"
Report.Picture 1.5, 2, VFREE, VFREE, "example.jpg"
Report.WriteDoc "My Document.pdf"
Report.Preview

End Sub
