This option is intended for automatically replace low-resolution window-like images with high-definition report-like images at run-time.

The main use of this would be with Form-like windows, where you have to use a custom form as background. It is normal that the graphic that looks fine on screen, has no enough resolution for printing, and if you use the high-definition graphic intended for the report with the window, it doesn't look well and it become very slow too. If you use several backgrounds (one per tab), you can take the ending part of their names and replace it by a different name for the report at run-time.

For example, if your images end with .gif as in the default prompt, you may replace that part by Prn.gif for looking at the graphics for the report. Then, you may supply your program with back1.gif, back2.gif and back3.gif for the window, plus back1Prn.gif, back2.Prn.gif and back3Prn.gif in higher definition. While the program will show back1.gif, back2.gif and back3.gif on your window, PrintWindow will pick back1Prn.gif, back2.Prn.gif and back3Prn.gif instead for the report.
