-
- ---------------------------
-
- FineDraw shows off the power of two of our most useful controls,
- VBX Artist and PicScroll.
-
- VBX Artist:
-
- VBX Artist is a powerful Visual Basic custom control designed
- for image manipulation. Simply drag it across the screen and
- paint in any one of a variety of modes: Pen, Brush, Filled or
- empty rectangle or ellipse, Line, Eraser, Screen Clipper,
- Flood Fill, or Spray Can.
-
- The code can be complex or as simple as
-
- Sub PicScroll_MouseMove (....)
- Art1.Mode= 1 ' selects the pen
- Art1. Drag ' draws while the mouse is moving
- End Sub
-
- Everything can be controlled via properties from colors (fore, fill and
- back), to brush size, to target window. You can even set the brush
- mask to that of a small bitmap.
-
- PicScroll:
-
- PicScroll is our scrollable, zoomable, drop-file aware picture box
- control. Supports scrolling via mouse dragging, scroll bars, or
- programmatic control. The image may be zoomed in or stretched to fit.
-
- PicScroll may be used as a container control allowing the scrolling of a
- any controls placed within.
-
- PicScroll can even handle metafiles and can be used to display
- individual metafile records.
-
- PicScroll is "DropFile Aware" and will accept files dragged from other
- applications such as file manager. Events are triggered for each file
- dragged allowing the loading of one or more pictures in a slide show, or
- with some extra coding, the ability to initiate other actions on
- dropped files.
