Need a WinForm interface like UltraPrintPreview Dialog - but not to print...
posted

How do I - and Is it possible?

I need a control that will have the apperance identical to the UltraPrintPreview, in a control format, not a pop--up dialog - and not for printing - but be able to present document images and minor edit them.
I would think this a popular control idea since documents are moving from paper to scanned images - viewing/manipulating will be a very common and important feature.

It must display a list of TIFF images in the left scrollable list, and allow insert (a blank TIFF), delete from that list - and - be able to minor edit the selected TIFF in the right pane (cut/paste selected rectangles, draw lines and annotate).

Anyone have an idea on how to do this - or if I could sub-reference the inside classes for the print preview thumbnail viewer and use it?  Right now I'm thinking ListView of images, and figure out how to write a simple bitmap editor.

Thanks,
Todd

    Todd,

    This sounds like a good idea for a control that we should have.  I have submitted this request on your behalf to our product management team as a new product idea.  It looks like you are on the right track for building this yourself as a UserControl with a ListView of images.  Let me know if you have any specific questions regarding this that I could help you with.
