Hi guys,
I'm trying to design a word editor, something similar to "Microsoft Word".
This is my first time designing with Visual C#, so not really good will all
the features. I wonder how to actually create a work space ( which is set to
the paper size chosen by the user) and able to handle automatically for
multiple pages ( changes to next page when the first one is used). I found
this very confusing since I'm playing with pixel in designing my form, and am
I supposed to used the "Panel" as the work area of the user ??
Can someone elaborate me on this issue on how to design it in an elegant
manner.
Thx alot

Why are you building something like this from scratch? Is this for a
client, or for a school project?
I'm not trying to be a wise guy.
We recently put a fairly sophisticated RTF editor in a C# app using a 3rd
party application from www.textcontrol.com.
We also used a 3rd party tool for spell checking.
Altogether, the license was about $1500/developer and we only purchased one
license since only one guy did the development on that tool.
But, just in case you didn't get the embedded hint, start with a form with
an Rich Text Editor.

Hi Sharpie,
I'm doing this project for my school project. Also i would like to learn how
to program in C#. I dont believe i can afford to pay $1500 for the license.
I've been using a form with RTF, but again I dont see a way to actually
create a work space based on the paper size that the user have chosen. Also
how to actually create the second page after the first page is full.
Best Regards

Hey:
Are you going to take our lunch money if we don't do your homework???? ;-)
Simple suggestion: build a GUI object that can track where the cursor is
for your ruler(s). You'll need to do your homework on how to use a rich
text editor and how to apply formatting. You'll also need to used the
SelectedText property to allow the user to change the font- face, type, size
as well as underline. So you'll need those buttons.
I know it can be done. We have faith in you. :-)
I have an idea, why don't you go do some reading, build a prototype and then
come back to ask us questions AFTER you've actually tried to build
something.
Sound fair?

Your school doesn't have an educational license for its students? You may
want to ask the teachers about that. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |
