Zoom to a given rectangle/pixel location?

Hi,

I am wondering if it is possible to zoom to a given rectangle? In my application I want to be able to pass in a rectangle object or set of coordinates, and then zoom to that rectangle on my bitmap. I also want to save the current postion(this may change due to rezooming or panning/scrolling) that is visable so I can reopen the same file later looking at the same position.

I have tried a number of things so far, including using a RectangleRubberband to provide my area that I want to zoom to. Unfortunately I have only been able to crop the original image using this rectangle (I can't find out how to zoom to a given rectangle).

I have also used the ZoomRectangleNavigator. Although this allows me to change my current zoomed area, it can't figure out a way to use it to zoom to a predetermined area.

Sorry if this is simple, I am new to C#.

Cheers,

Brett.

Although ZoomRectangleNavigator does what I require as far as the navigation and zooming in one goes, I also want to save the position of the bitmap inside the control so I can load it next time I load the picture.

Or you want to zoom to specified rectangle size programmatically?

Yeah, this is what I am after. I want to zoom/pan programmatically to a spcified rectangle when I load the picture. I also want to save the area where I was last zoomed to (so it can be loaded next time).

Another way I though of doing this was I could specifiy a reference point (say the top left corner of the control) and get the pixel reference on the bitmap (don't know how to do this either!). Using this reference pixel and the zoom, I could reconstruct what the user was last viewing (if I could figure out how to save/load a picture to a reference pixel).

I am using WinControls.

Cheers,
