Graphics help

[Bill Fuller]

I have no experience designing graphics applications, but now have a need to
design an app with standard graphics capability such as allowing a user to
drag a textbox-like control onto an image, resize it, select and group
controls, snap-to-grid, etc.



This app will be used to obtain data coordinates for scanned custom-forms
that will ultimately be printed on an impact printer. For example, a
customer name field will be dragged onto the appropriate location of the
form so that it will be appropriately located when printed.



Is there some kind of info or open source code for this?

RE: Graphics help

It is possible to use the visual studio designer in a windows forms app.
There is a lot of work to app like that, even with the designer. I dont
remember how to use it as I have never done so in anger but there are
articles about it.

Jees, you're not asking for much are you? IMO you don't need open-source,
i.e fool's gold. You need cash to hire somebody that has experience with WPF
and sadly while I have all kinds of "graphics" experience at the moment it
isn't me. As if. You want somebody with Windows Presentation Foundation
experience Bill.
