FarPoint.Win.Picture p = new FarPoint.Win.Picture(Image.FromFile("D:\\images\\lionstatue.jpg"), FarPoint.Win.RenderStyle.Stretch); t.BackgroundImage = p; // Apply the text cell. fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Cells[1, 1].CellType = t; // Set the size of the cell so the image is displayed fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Rows[1].Height = 50; fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Columns[1].Width = 150; }

// Load an image file and set it to BackgroundImage property.
FarPoint.Win.Picture p = new FarPoint.Win.Picture(Image.FromFile("D:\\images\\lionstatue.jpg"), FarPoint.Win.RenderStyle.Stretch);
t.BackgroundImage = p;
// Apply the text cell.
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Cells[1, 1].CellType = t;
// Set the size of the cell so the image is displayed
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Rows[1].Height = 50;
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Columns[1].Width = 150;
}
