Need Delphi Component for "Drawing Canvas & Image Dragging"
Hello all,
I'm using C++Builder 2010.
May i know whether the following task possible in c++ builder or not?, by using 3rd party tools if possible.
I'me having advertisement magazine published every week.
We publish text and image advertisement.
We use Adobe InDeisign to design the pages in the magazine.
Now we need to make software to reduce the time in designing.
My magazine page size is 30 x 100 cm.
We are going to make a software that will take details of advertisements from the user and align on the page. And with one click of a button the program gives output in pdf, jpg or any other format.
The program should automatically adjust the ads for page and we should have options to move freely drag and align the ads over the page, just like a drawing surface.
Please suggest any components avaiable
Can you experts pls suggest us.
Anticipating reply.
Thanks

how can you drag images on a canvas if they have not different windows handle ? you wish to capture all mouse events for you single surface and compare mouse coordinates with the positions of your drawn images ? what's the point ? Why not use panel & TImage components ?
