Hi,

Under MultilayerViewer, may I know how "resizing" is being detected?
We can't use the method of "Mouse Up" to check the previous size and current size as we want "resizing" to be detected while it's being "DRAGGING"/"Resizing".

Please advise.

Hi, we are now trying to implement this in the mousemove to detect if it's moving the object or resizing the object, but seems like it's pretty confusing.
The method we did was checking if all 4 corner object bound are the same or all not the same, then it's consider "moving", if there are at >= 1 and < 4 point remain the same, then it will be consider "resizing". But, somehow, we found that, for a very minor period of during resize, it will be detected moving (While we keep on resizing without mouseup). On the other hand, the method that we using will not be valid anymore when we are resizing in proportional (where user can drag the center of the line, and the object drag to bigger from the center).

Kindly advise..... perhaps there are some other easier and firm way to detect if the object is being resizing or moving. Thanks.

Hello Ching-Yen,

Sorry for the delay.

I assume you should count the center coordinates to use it as additional parameter to check. If four corner coordinates and the center are changed, it will mean moving. In case the center is not changed, such process will be resizing.

If you share your code snippet you use now, I will be able to check it.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

                }
                return gvrmObj;
        }



// Snip code inside MouseMove for MultilayerViewer.
Code:

System.Drawing.PointF[] mvmvSelectedPoints = GetSelectedObjectsBound();
ResizeVObjectInfo mvmvResizeObjInfo = new ResizeVObjectInfo();

if (_selectItemPoints == null)
{
  _selectItemPoints = GetSelectedObjectsBound();
}

mvmvResizeObjInfo = GetVObjectResizeMode(mvmvSelectedPoints);

_statusbar.text = mvmvResizeObjInfo.ResizeMode.ToString();



This code works for most cases beside when the resize is in porpotional and user resize from left, right, top or bottom. But, if we keep on dragging to resize, on and off, we will see the action will actually detected "none" (no resize) for a short period..

Hello Ching-Yen,

Do you need to distinguish only drag/resize actions? Or you need to determine whether it is resized or rotated, or resized or skewed?

For the first case - I wonder why not to use object size instead of point coordinates?
As for the second case - skew transform will be treated like resize by your code.

To add this functionality I can recommend you to change source code of VectorObjects module. Take a look at VectorObjects\Objects\ControlPoints\GenericControlPointsProvider.cs. It has such methods as DragCornerSizePoint(...) and DragMiddleSizeSizePoint(...) where you can inject event to react object resize.

Dear Alex,

Thanks for the reply. We just need to know it's either "move" or "resize" as Skewed are not allowed, and which point is being drag.

The main target of implement this is for "Snap to Grid" usage. Something like in VS, when we grade a label, when the width is same or almost the same as the above object, it will show grid, and when user mouse up, it will be "snap" to the suggested place.

OK, and what about rotation? Why do you mention only resize and drag? If there are only two options - you can easily distinguish one from another. Drag doesn't change size of the image and resize does.

Yes, in the past, we are using mouse up, to check with the points are different, and the size of the object

But, now we need to know in real time while the VObject is being dragging, and if it's resize which point is being dragging. (Means we need to have the info before the MouseUp for some visual effect.

Hello,

OK, I understand you. Such functionality wasn't expected when we designed VObjects, so I recommend you to inject your code into GenericControlPointsProvider class (see my message above).

Hi,

That might be a better idea, but, the problem is, the source file available for download is not updated. Although the compiled version is now 5.5.6 but, the source file still stay at 4.5.17

Hello Ching-Yen,

Could you please let me know where you downloaded this version? The last version of GM should be with complete of source codes set.

Hi,

Sorry, my fault. I didn't aware it came with the installer. I always presume it's a separate download. Thanks !
