Smartphone is revelation when I need quickly check some forums for new posts. With dictionary, my xperia z3 is really great tool event for writing posts.
Of course, it's unusable for programming (I've tested by remote desktop and teamviewer :-D ).

PS. this discussions is out of main topic :)

HMG GridPlus - New Version

Post by Pablo César »

Dear Rathi,

I do not know if you did not understand what I had proposed or just you wanted to simplify doing it in a simpler way.

I have two ideas and I will try to exemplify better than maybe you can adopt to leave with a more professional face regarding respect.

1. If you want to control the margins and even the grid model sizes for the maximum and minimum size of the paper size, you could better refine the values that should be variable according to the sheet size and the sum of the 3 columns of the Grid_1 to cap the width of the selected sheet size.

2. The other example attached here is a brilliant idea of an example of HMG EE from Verchenko Andrey where he divides the image into three parts and as he clicks on the image it says which part is selected. This could be divided into millimeters in an array and you can make the blue colored cross line forming the border or the margins. I did not test but I believe it is possible.

In the option 1, it's not adjusted the range of each column at EventHandler. The ruler I have edited but seems it is not correct. Some of milimiters is thiner than other, probably is image adjustment. Header of Grid_1 you can display the width value of each column and font is Courier New because is monospaced (more easy with PADL/PADR).

Sorry I can not finish for you, becaause you are using OOP and also I do not know what you gonna adopt for you.

I have just now seen your post and I like the idea of doing away with Panel Window (Which makes the library buggy, I don't know why. :( ) and having two grids one for margin and another for resizing.

I will go through your code and decide upon.
What is the bug that has the panel window?

Later, I have found that it is not the Panel Window which gives problem. But, when we try to draw the scale every time the On Paint event is called, the system hangs. So, I have replaced it with a bitmap.

Pablo,

As you have mentioned, I made this for simplicity.

People don't try to change the margin then and there. They want to adjust the column widths most of the times.

Any how, if they want to modify the margin, they can do well from the bottom text box provided for.

I have found a simple solution for fixing the left and right margin by using sliders. :) Now I think I can concentrate on other things.
