Embed dialog resource picture in a report

Question

Hello 
 We are generating a report of untranslated text and we want to add to the report the dialog resource picture. 
 Is that possible? 
 
 Thanks 
 Terry

Are you using the existing Passolo reports or have you already implemented a customized report using the COM object model programming interface? 
 As exporting dialog pictures is not an inbuilt feature in SDL Passolo, you have to create a customized export utility using macros. There is a non-documented method in the object model that allows to create and save dialog pictures. 
 PslResourceEditor.SaveImage 
 There are 3 parameters 
 Filetype pslFileTypeJpg, pslFileTypePng, pslFileTypeBmp Folder where the picture files are stored filename optional, If filename is omitted, the filename is created from the resource ID 
 Before you call this function you must ensure that the resource editor window in Passolo is maximized i.e. on a second screen 
 Code sample: 
 Sub HandleTransString(t As PslTransString) Dim reseditor As PslResourceEditor Set reseditor = t.Resource.OpenResourceEditor If reseditor Is Nothing Then Exit Sub reseditor.SaveImage(pslFileTypePng, "d:\images") End Sub 
 Some time ago I created a really nice customized macro solution to exactly achieve what you are looking for. As far as I remember it took me 2-3 days of developing it. Unfortunately it got lost in a system crash.
