How to change pictures in Word-Layout with some functionality?

Posted on by Community Member

Hello everybody,

I plan to do the following:

In BC I use Word layouts to display my reports. Now I have created a certificate that has a barcode. This barcode contains of course various data. Now I have found a DotNet library (OpenXML) that I can use to find images, etc. in a document. Now I thought that I could use something similar to find all pictures in a Word document in the future and possibly exchange them with a functionality, so that I don't have to create a new layout for every particular situation. Is there such a thing as an image exchange function? That I am able to replace the current barcode with a new one that contains more data. Have you ever seen or programmed something like this?

Thank you ;)

    For two situations. 1. Using the customer picture as my customer had to produce paperwork on behalf of their client. 2. Global dimension which resulted in a custom table based on company information.

    In both cases I've extended the report objects to call a code unit which then replaces the image passed from the company info table with the desired output.

    In both cases this worked for RDLC and word based layouts.

    Ok, this sounds quite nice. Can you show me how you did this? Or is there an explanation in the Internet where the procedure is explained in detail?

    So in the example with the dimensions I use the below codeunit function to convert the data to what I require. The concept is the same for a different variable like an item or a customer:

        procedure SetCompanyInformation(var CompanyInfo: Record "Company Information"; EntCode: Code[10]; var tmpEntityInfo: Record "Company Information (Entity)" temporary) Found: Boolean
    var
        InStr: InStream;
        OutStr: OutStream;
        CompanyEntity: Record "Company Information (Entity)";
    begin

        IF CompanyEntity.GET(EntCode) THEN BEGIN
            CompanyEntity.CALCFIELDS(Picture);
            tmpEntityInfo.TRANSFERFIELDS(CompanyEntity);
            IF tmpEntityInfo.INSERT THEN;
            CompanyInfo.TRANSFERFIELDS(CompanyEntity);
            Found := TRUE;
        END ELSE BEGIN
            CompanyInfo.GET;
            CompanyInfo.CALCFIELDS(Picture);
            tmpEntityInfo.TRANSFERFIELDS(CompanyInfo);
            IF tmpEntityInfo.INSERT THEN;
        END;
    end;
