Using ms paint in my C# app

[Macca]

Hi,

I have been using MS paint to manipulate bitmaps by adding layers and points
to existing bitmaps. I need to know where in the bitmaps i have been adding
layers and points and paint tells me this by giving me the co-ordinates that
the cursor is pointing to in the bitmap on the status bar.

The above features are what i need to have access to from inside my C#
application and was wondering if there is a way i can embedd the ms paint
application inside my C# windows form appliction.

Thanks In Advance
Macca

Macca,

Unfortunately, no, there isn't any way you can access this from MSPAINT.
MSPAINT is a self-contained executable which doesn't expose any
functionality to outside apps (AFAIK).

However, MSPAINT is not overly complex in what it does. You should be
able to replicate the functionality in .NET easily.

Hope this helps.

paint.net is a .net version of paint! :-)
