Other files may not be distributed on their own. --------------------------- 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. --------------------------- For further information on FineDraw, PicScroll, VBX Artist or any of our other controls contact us at: Bennet-Tec Information Systems 10 Steuben Drive, Jericho, NY 11753 (516) 433-6283 Fax (516) 822-2679 E-Mail 71201.1075@Compuserve.Com Remember - Bennet-Tec also handles custom development projects.
