Is there a control or something similar to a canvas with a margin(ruler), like in MS Word,in .NET WPF or WinForms?
I need to place some custom elements inside that user can modify in that canvas.
I am looking for a VB control that operates as a more or less transparent or semi-transparent ruler or bar that can be scrolled up and down the form over an invoice or letter, so that the user can see what is under the ruler/bar and thus stop scrolling when he reaches a certain point.
To give a bit more detail of what I am looking for - such a bar is used when someone is setting the focus on a line of a long list of items so that they know where they are all the time. Most people would use a ruler on a paper list to keep track of how far they have progressed down the list. It would be nice though to have the "ruler" or bar as semi-transparent so that the user can see under where he is at on the list or form.
I have an advanced word processor and I need to add a ruler. I have searched the web and cant seem to find just the ruler control in inches.
View 4 RepliesDoes any one know where I can find a ruler control that inherits RichTextBox Control for VB 2008 with code. I am building my own word processor and I am trying to make it look like MS Word. I am somewhat new to this, so take it easy on me ladies and gents. i am using VB 2008 Express Edition, Windows Form.VB 6.0, VBExprss, ASP,Net, & Gaming
View 3 RepliesI am trying to convert some old VB6 code to VB.NET. The VB6 uses a Canvas control, simply
Dim cv as Canvas
I cannot for the life of me figure out how to use the Canvas control in VB.NET (using VS2005). MSDN says it is in the System.Windows.Controls namespace, which doesn't seem to exist? All I see is System.Windows.Forms, which doesn't include the Canvas control.
With the different screen resolutions out there, how do the rulers in WordPad, OpenOffice.org Writer, Microsoft Word, etc. assure exact inches in printing?

I have a canvas in the middle of my application with controls around it. I have a socket that recieves Points and saves them in a list.
I draw small 4x4 rectangles on the canvas for the number of points in my list.. say theres 4 points.. theres 4 rectangles.
I want to be able to move the rectangles when the points change with code.
is this possible without storyboards or any 'animation' class?
I have tried:
'cMap.Children.Remove(r)
'Dim nr As Rectangle = New Rectangle() With {.Width = 4, .Height = 4, .Name = "r" & P.Name, .Fill = Brushes.Red}

Finally took the plunge for wpf, all was going well until i needed to do a simple drawing on a canvas control (presume this is the right surface to use). First thing i noticed is that there is no paint event in wpf so i looked at a few others (Initialized, layout updated) at this point i looked under google and found very little on this. would anyone here have or know of a tutorial to allow this functionality? My application (a testbed) will draw an archery target within the canvas along with score numbers in the correct place as follows to do this it will need to draw several filled circles with black (or white) borders and text objects in the correct position. the locations and widths of the circles will be determined using a simple algorithm so my question is on the structure of paint events within wpf, are the commands the same as in gdi+?
View 3 RepliesSo I built myself a simple program to work out the kinks of drawing in my programs. I have a button that I press that when the textbox.text reads 1 it then draws a line of a specific height, color and position, the problem is when I click that button again it will crash informing me that...
"Specified Visual is already a child of another Visual or the root of a CompositionTarget."
[code..]
I know where the problem lies, its with the Canvas1.children.add(line), cause its telling me the line variable is already been used or in use on the canvas, I'm just unsure of how to turn that into a solution that will allow me to click the button a hundred times or more without being forced to MANUALLY make a hundred or more individual variables to store the line.
I have an application that generates a replay of Air Traffic and I need to allow the user to capture parts of the canvas so it can be exported as a BMP of GIF. I did this in VB6, but not sure how to do it in WPF. I plan on drawing a rectangle around the intended capture area following the mouse till the user triggers the capture.

I convert a SVG to canvas using canvg to an image and then vb.net client side I convert the image to bytearray() and saved it to a folder on my server so I can attached by email :
Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim path = Server.MapPath("PDFs")
Dim fileNameWithPath As String = path + DateTime.Now.ToString().Replace("/", "-").Replace(" ", "-").Replace(":", "") + ".jpeg"
Dim fs As FileStream = New FileStream(fileNameWithPath, FileMode.Create)
Dim bw As BinaryWriter = New BinaryWriter(fs)
[Code] .....
This code works fine and it send the image. Actually I don't need to save this image to my server I just wanted to send it without saving, this is what I have done so far.
Protected Sub emailSend_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles emailSend.Click
Dim customerChoice As String = DropDownList1.Text
Select Case customerChoice

View 4 RepliesI'm making a drag and drop application and when I'm dragging an element inside the canvas the brush displays the element when the coordinates are negative this gives a weird resize in the brush witch also displays the negative elements.
How can I make the visual brush only draw the real size of the canvas, or the positive children of the canvas?
What I need is some formula to calculate font size of TextBlock for its owner - Let's say I have Canvas height 100.0 then which TextBlock font size should be to fill all space of the Canvas?

I'm trying to make a very simple Silverlight application.I want it to be full-screen, and I want to draw a line onto a Canvas.My problem is that the .Width and .Height of the canvas never seem to have a valid value. The website shows the canvas at 400x300 pixels or so, and when you click on it, it goes into Fullscreen mode.I want to use the Height and Width to find the usable space of the screen. I've tried adding events (thinking that the canvas wasn't yet ready to be used immediate after the full-screen line of code) but the LayoutChanged and Resized events don't seem to yield anything.

Under the MouseLeftButtonUp event handker store the first coordinates of the lines second endpoint. Then call the length method to obtain the distance between the two endpoints(the lines length).

Silverlight project with tabcontrol hosting canvas objects. I want to wrap my entire tabcontrol with a scrollviewer so that on a short display you can scroll vertically to see the whole area on my canvas.When I run my project my scrollviewer vertical bar is always showing even when there's more room vertically than needed for a scrollbar.
All I am trying to accomplish here is a min resolution of 1280x768 to be scrollable and anything bigger than that have the scrollbars hide. My laptop is only 768 tall, but my canvases were developed with 1280x1024 in mind. So I would like a way to set this up so that everyone can scroll or just see the canvas all at once depending on their resolution.
Anyone have any ideas why it is always visible? I've tried setting canvas width and height. I tried setting stretch on alignments on the outer grid. Saw both those tips while searching other issues similar to mine.
Some code:
<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" MinHeight="768" MaxHeight="1024" MinWidth="1024" MaxWidth="1280" Background="#FF6A6868" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="0.775*"/>

....lots of child canvas items in my "Main Floor" canvas. Child canvas objects contain lots of path objects. None which are taller or wider than the main floor canvas width/height.
<sdk:TabItem Margin="0" Header="Mezzanine">

..another tab. Same deal with child canvas objects.
I use some code to successfully resize and save images - but I want to save the image to 800x800 px size on a canvas of 900x900px so it has a white border type thing around it.
View 8 RepliesHere's my situation: I have a control with motion graphics (for the sake of simplicity, a 'video player' control) in my project. Think of a PictureBox with constantly-changing images. In front of this will sit a second control (such as a second PictureBox of the same dimensions). The topmost PictureBox will be drawn to in its Paint event.
I need to draw very few elements, and the bottom control is updated much more frequently than I need for this drawing. So these elements are drawn to the topmost control. Think of a news broadcast, where they have live video in the background, with a news channel logo, news ticker, and sometimes gradient visible in front.
I'm trying to create that 'foreground' control, and the closest I believe I have gotten so far is the following:
Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.Drawing.Imaging
Imports System.Drawing.Drawing2D
[CODE]...
The 'Opacity' property in the code above is a sort of "scaling factor." The image drawn to the top control may, in different parts of the image, have any alpha value from full transparent to a full 255. This 'Opacity' property is applied to the entire image being drawn, scaling the alpha values of each pixel.

View 2 RepliesI have a requirement for a new application development where I must present some information to the user for selection via drag and drop. VB offers the TreeView control which would work nice, however the user does not like the Treeview control's presentation. The user wants a control that work similar to the Mac's Finder control while in column view.
Apple's Mac Finder Control works similar to window's treeview. Finder has a nifty view capability that my users would like in some new development that is being done. The finder supports a "column" view. Similar to the treeview, it starts out in a root list. The difference being, when a user makes a selection and clicks on a node, the node doesn't expand, the sub nodes appear on the pane to the right of the list. Clicking on a sub node, will cause the pane to split again and the items within that sub node appear
to the right again.
This will happen again and again with the left pane getting narrower as the user drives deeper into the sub nodes. That is what I am trying to replicate. Obviously, once the user reaches the base list of items, we have to support drag and drop capability. Does anyone know of a control for VB.NET that work similar to the Mac's Finder control?
I am upgrading user control from vb6 to vb.net.In the vb6 application I am loading 3000 labels using a label control array.In vb.net I am doing same but it's taking too much time to load.In vb6 it's taking 1-2 seconds, but in vb.net it's taking 30-40 seconds for same work. Why does it take too much time in vb.net for same work?Code is given below, here Led is the label control array.
For l = 1 To 3000

I have a UserControl that contains other controls that I would like to be able to rearrange or resize at design time. So I have a custom designer for the UserControl that inherits from System.Windows.Forms.Design.ParentControlDesigner, and I call EnableDesignMode on the child controls from within the designer. That way, at design time, I can drag and drop the child controls to move them, or resize them. But I can also drag and drop the child controls somewhere else on the form that is outside of the original UserControl. Is there a way I can limit the child controls from being moved or resized outside the UserControl?
