New Post: Zoom without drawing?

soda97 — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 14:58:37 GMT

Is it possible to just having the zoom feature and still able to do all the left and right clicking, highlighting and other stuff?
I wish it can turn on and off the drawing feature instead.

thanks in advance,
soda

Created Issue: Keys don't get to NLarge

pelikhan — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 05:50:31 GMT

When I'm using VS2008, Ctrl +1 does not trigger NLarge. It seems that NLarge does not get the message there. Any clue on where to search for a solution?

(very cool app overall)

NEW POST: Feature Request: Ability to draw straight lines

Jaykul — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 15:30:22 GMT

I know this is late, but I just stumbled across this thread, figured I'd answer the question...

If you want to constrain your InkCanvas to draw straight lines, the simplest thing to do (assuming you want to constrain to horizontal and/or vertical lines) is to use the gesture system. So, you start by setting your InkCanvas.EditingMode to "InkAndGesture" and then you SetEnabledGestures to just "Right","Left","Up","Down" ...

                myInkCanvas.EditingMode = InkCanvasEditingMode.InkAndGesture;
                // The gestures in which the application is interested are enabled here.
                myInkCanvas.SetEnabledGestures(new ApplicationGesture[] {
                ApplicationGesture.Up, ApplicationGesture.Down, ApplicationGesture.Left, ApplicationGesture.Right });
                // Hook up the "Gesture" event.
                myInkCanvas.Gesture += new InkCanvasGestureEventHandler(InkCanvas_Gesture);

In the Gesture event, you need to handle these something like this:

            GestureRecognitionResult topResult = e.GetGestureRecognitionResults()[0];
            if (topResult.RecognitionConfidence == RecognitionConfidence.Strong)
            {
                ApplicationGesture gesture = topResult.ApplicationGesture;
                switch (gesture)
                {

          // basically, each of them looks something like this:
           case ApplicationGesture.Right {
               // You're hodling CTRL to draw straight lines
               if( System.Windows.Input.Keyboard.Modifiers && System.Windows.Input.ModifierKeys.Control == System.Windows.Input.ModifierKeys.Control ) {
                System.Windows.Input.StylusPointCollection points = new System.Windows.Input.StylusPointCollection();
                  points.Add( new System.Windows.Input.StylusPoint( e.strokes[0].StylusPoints[0].X, e.strokes[0].StylusPoints[0].Y ) )
                  points.Add( new System.Windows.Input.StylusPoint( e.strokes.GetBounds().Right, e.strokes[0].StylusPoints[0].Y ) )

                  myInkCanvas.Strokes.Add( new System.Windows.Ink.Stroke( points, e.strokes[0].DrawingAttributes ) )
               } else {
                  e.Cancel = true
               }
           }

NLarge Project Home Page

NLarge is a little utility for technical presentations. It magnifies the screen through a smooth animation, and allows you to pan and zoom around the magnified screen. You can annotate the magnified image using the mouse or a Tablet PC pen. You can also annotate with text.

NLarge runs from your system tray, and is triggered by a hotkey (Ctrl-1 by default).

Compatibility

Because NLarge is built with the Windows Presentation Foundation, it runs on Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, and will also work on Windows XP and Server 2003 if you install the .NET Framework version 3.0 (a free download).

Note: New versions of NLarge use transparency effects that are much smoother if you have installed the .NET Framework version 3.5 or 3.0 SP1. You can install the 3.5 version of the framework here .

CREATED ISSUE: Unhandled exception at startup

marc_omorain — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 09:10:27 GMT

Hi Robb,

When I run NLarge.exe, I get the following exeception:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.Security.SecurityException' occurred in PresentationFramework.dll

Additional information: Request for the permission of type 'System.Security.Permissions.UIPermission, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed.

WinXP, .Net 3.5, all the latest security patches as of yesterday.

I don't have VS2008 installed, so I can't debug into it I'm afraid.

Marc

I would find it very helpful if I could hold the shift or ctrl or alt key down and have NLarge draw a straight line when I draw with the mouse. I would also find it helpful to draw an ellipse instead of my rather tragic attempts that just end up looking like scribble.

It's a really good idea. I'm using the InkCanvas for drawing. Maybe someone could figure out how to make the InkCanvas draw a straight line?
