Draw Line & "Snap-to-Grid"
May 14, 2010
I am creating a program that will allow you to sketch out a house-floor-plan... I am using Snap-To-Grid code. The snap to grid works fine but i need a label that appears in the middle of the lines that are being drawn that represents the length of the line in feet. This will be saved as a bitmap image, so i need the length to stay visible after the lines are drawn. I have found code for a "symbiote-line", but it displays the text in a caption and the caption dissappears as soon as a line is drawn. I need the text to still be visible after the mouse-up event is fired. This is similar to the way i need the line to look.

I have started to work some more on my 'shape editor'. If you're not familiar with it,ust imagine the Visual Studio form designer: a 'canvas' (the form) with a bunch of 'shapes' (the controls) that can be selected, moved, resized, etc. I have just finished implementing snapping between shapes and the canvas boundaries. But now I am having some slight issues with painting the snap lines.Just FYI: this is what I mean by snap lines:The blue lines that indicate that the 'buttons' are snapped to each other, and a purple line indicating that button1 is snapped to the boundary.
My shape editor is based loosely on jmcilhinney's 'manipulating GDI+ drawings' codebank entry, and a central idea in that post is to only draw what is necessary. In other words, when I move a shape I could re-draw the entire canvas, but it is much faster and smoother to only re-draw the old and the new location of the shape. Since nothing else has changed, I don't need to draw the rest. So, I simply invalidate the old bounds and the new bounds, and even with a lot of shapes all moving simultaneously it still feels very smooth.

I installed VS2008 and just VS2010, both allow me to freely move objects around in the HTML Design View.However, I would like to be able to snap the objects in alignment.It is hard to space text boxes and buttons when everything is free flowing.

Alright, im trying to make a map editor for a game engine. I already have the whole form planned out but I just can't figure out on how to draw a grid. I dont mean a data grid. I mean like tiles. X and Y positions and stuff like that. I have looked all over the internet for tutorials. There are very few and most are out-dated. Can anyone help?

For class, I am creating a Tic Tac Toe game. When there is a win I would like to draw a line over the 3-in-a-row. Not sure if this is possible because I used an array of buttons to represent the X's and O's. If this is not possible I would like to highlight the winning buttons.

Surely its possible to draw a line in Visual Studio without writing a dozen lines of code?
Is there a drawing toolbox that's hiding from me?

I need to draw a line on a series of pictures: I have decompiled a movie file to 1200 pictures. I also have 1200 samples of vector data (coordinates of the line: beginning point, ending point , size of vector (length) and direction (angle)... anything). With these data I want for each corresponding picture to draw a line corresponding to this vector data for instance: picture 550 needs to get a line drawn from point (5,95) ... these are (x,y) coordinates. in direction of 5 degrees from a vertical line and length 55. Visual Basic do that? I understand there will be some work in locating the origin of the x,y coordinate system and telling the program what 'size 1' means...

I want to move cursor with visual basic and it seems I found way how to do that. It is possible even click with Visual Basic whereever on screen. But I cannot check out where on the screen the click was done and so I want to draw two short crossing lines on that point as marker where Visual Basic clicked on screen. If it is possible to move cursor to that position and show it then it is as good as drawing marker.

I seem to have great difficulty in creating a draw pen line function whereby the user clicks a button to create a line then picks a point on the form and types in a length in a textbox, which will also become the length of the line, its self.

I have a borderless form that I'm "docking" onto the top edge of my screen. Inside of the form, I'm placing a single toolstrip control, which docks across the entire form -> (picture the taskbar to get an idea of what I'm talking about).Because the borderless form has no edge to it, I wanted to draw a black line along the bottom edg` of the form to differentiate the form from the windows or desktop behind it.
The problem that I'm facing is that`the toolstrip will not move "behind" the line when it's docked, no matter how I order the control layers.
I've tried programatically sending the control to back to no avail either.
Any ideas on how to get the line to show above the docked toolstrip?
