I would like to create a panel, or other widget, on which I can draw,
say, a triangle, and use the wheel on the mouse to zoom in and out on
the drawing. A vector drawing.
I know this can be done because I have seen apps that do this. They
were 3D and I only need 2D but they were very fast.
Is there an easy way to do this? Do I need to use the DirectX
libraries to do this?
Any pointer in the right direction would be very welcome and hopefully
save me much time.
Thanks,
Steve

I wonder if your best approach might be to use WPF to render the area?
This natively supports scaleable vector-based graphics - you'd just need
to add the mouse hooks... Try searching for +WPF +zoom
Marc
Thanks. My original app was written using Windows Forms. Is there an
easy way to convert to WPF?

Not really, but you can embed WPF in WinForm (via ElementHost) and
WinForm in WPF (via WindowsFormsHos t).
However, depending on the complexity, the zooming picturebox (that Chris
mentions) looks interesting.
Marc
thanks, I will have to play around with it a bit to see how it would
work for what I want.

I need to make a terminal window to emulate special characters of a vintage

So what is the best way to make a terminal window that has a scrollback and
is easy to position the cursor? How does hyperterminal & SmartTerm do it?

I am searching for a panel that allows me to pan and zoom but i still have to be able to select a object like a Button (so not a pure drawing panel).
If anyone have an idee how to handle this, it would be great.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
