Sheet on window ( landscape )

[VisualJump3D]

Hi !

How can I create a virtual sheet (A4-Landscape), (with the right proportions)
inside a window

where I can add text and image-gadget , and i can drag/drop it ?

Probably then your best bet is to represent the sheet of paper with a ContainerGadget()

To size it correctly, you need to know the DPI of the monitor. If your app is for Windows, you can use:

Code: Select all

DPI_X = GetDeviceCaps_(GetDC_(GetDesktopWindow_()), #LOGPIXELSX)
DPI_Y = GetDeviceCaps_(GetDC_(GetDesktopWindow_()), #LOGPIXELSY)

On most monitors DPI_X and DPI_Y are the same. Most are 96DPI = 3.77952 pix per mm
So, your A4 sheet (Container) would be 1123pix x 794pix (297mm x 210mm)

Here is how to add gadgets onto your sheet at run time: Resize / move Gadgets with mouse Scroll down to the code by Shardik. It works in a similar way to a Form/Window designer.
