• from the report viewer (WINDEV only).
• programmatically.

• If a watermark is defined for a report, it is defined for all the pages of the report.
• A single watermark can be defined for each report. You cannot define several watermarks.
• The watermark is printed on the pages containing information only. It is not printed on empty pages.

• Method 1: Full setting: using a Watermark variable.
• Method 2: Quick setting: direct use.

Method 1: Full setting: using a Watermark variable

1. Define a Watermark variable. This variable contains all the characteristics of the watermark to print.
2. Use iParameterWatermark to add the watermark into your report.
3. Start printing the report.

• WLanguage code used to print a watermark in the background of a report created with the report editor:
  

  // Print a watermark in report background
  MyWatermark is Watermark
  
  // Text of the watermark
  MyWatermark.Text = "Confidential"
  // Font used
  MyWatermark.Font.Name = "Arial"
  // The watermark will be horizontally centered at bottom
  MyWatermark.Position = iCenterH + iBottom
  
  // Print in the report viewer
  iDestination(iViewer)
  
  // Indicates that the watermark will be printed during the print and in the duplicates
  iParameterWatermark(iWatermarkPrinting + iWatermarkDuplicate, MyWatermark)
  
  // Starts printing the report
  iPrintReport(RPT_Commercial)

• WLanguage code used to print a watermark in the background of a report created with the print functions:
  

  MyWatermark is Watermark
  
  // Text of the watermark
  MyWatermark.Text = "Confidential"
  
  // Print in the report viewer
  iDestination(iViewer)
  
  // Implement a watermark in document background only
  iParameterWatermark(iWatermarkPrinting, MyWatermark)
  
  // Prints several pages with watermark
  FOR i = 6 TO 10
  	iPrint(" Page " + i)
  	iSkipPage()
  END
  // The last page is empty and it has no watermark
  
  // Ends the print job
  iEndPrinting()

Method 2: Quick setting: direct use

1. Use iParameterWatermark to specify the text of the watermark that will be added into your report. In this case, the "Arial" font is used, with an automatic size and with an opacity set to 20%.
2. Start printing the report.

  // Starts printing the report
