Drawing

[Terry Holland]

We have an application that is written in VB that allows to users to design
some basic structures by allowing them to select items in in a Picture box
and them modify the properties of the item that they have selected.

The items that they select are generally lines of varying length & thickness
& some arrows indicating the position of various forces.

The users are very happy with the way they use the program at present, but
we would like move this program to the company intranet. We are hoping to
use this opportunity to develop our first ASP.Net application but are
wondering how to get this 'drawing' functionality from a web page.

Are there web controls that can detect the position of the mouse & possibly
allow drag & drop of items on a drawing?

Hi Terry,

I don't think so in VB.net.

In a webform a picture is always a html.image not a bitmap.

Maybe you can archieve your goal using Jscript I don't know.

Maybe this is an intresting link for you

But I would also ask this in the
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet newsgroup

I hope this helps a little bit?
