I’ve implemented a GUI for a tabletop device using C# and the .NET framework
1.1. At the moment, my interface consists of a collection of virtual sheets
of paper in which you can draw. Those documents can be rotated and moved. For
the first prototype, I implemented all the graphics by myself in the code.
But now I have to reengineer this system in order to add functions. I’m
planning to use the standard components, like buttons, textbox, panels, etc.
Then, as the second step, I will use activeX, video players, PowerPoint
documents, Excel documents etc. Of course, all those things should rotate as
well.
So, the question is: Can I extend components, or forms (or generic Windows
components...), in order to rotate them? As to as I now, it seems to be
impossible to change the orientation of a Component’s ClipRectangle in C#,
even if it’s only possible to rotate their graphic interface.
Are there some MS developers who can help me?
Here is the video of the first prototype:
