Merging Image directly from MailMerge>DataSource

Thanks Constantin but thats not quite what I want as the photo is embedded.

I want the user to be able to select any field(s) from a drop down (images and text) and add it programatically to create the document.

Then later I want to be able to mailmerge the created document.

Thanks,

Ken

You can use the following code:

Delphi
//  Inserts a text field
dxRichEditControl1.Document.Fields.CreateField(dxRichEditControl1.Document.CaretPosition, 'MERGEFIELD LastName').Update;

// Inserts an image field
var
  AField: IdxRichEditField;
begin
  AField := dxRichEditControl1.Document.Fields.CreateField(dxRichEditControl1.Document.CaretPosition, 'INCLUDEPICTURE ');
  dxRichEditControl1.Document.Fields.CreateField(AField.CodeRange.&End, 'MERGEFIELD EmployeeID').Update;
  AField.Update;
end;

Thanks. I am currently using your built in action dxRichEditControlShowInsertMergeFieldForm to do this. How do I override this?

Hello Ken.

You can derive a form from TdxRichEditInsertMergeFieldForm and change the form's appearance and behavior as necessary. Then, invoke this new form in an OnInsertMergeFieldFormShowing event handler. I have attached a project that demonstrates how to do this.
