Hi,

I would like to implement a selection tool that is used for images. It selects a part of an image to enable the user for any further usage.

So, what is the simplest way to do such a thing?!

Any help will be welcome

What?
You want to be able to select part of an image so the user can have further usage? Please rephrase

My application deals with images. I want the user to select a part of an image, a text in the image for example. That selection part will be saved, copied, moved or any thing :evil:

I hope you could understand now

I am waiting.......

By the way, I found in somewhare, what i want is called: rubberband.

Regards..

Hi..

any HELPING IDEA!!!

hi
u can use GDI+ in c# and implement selection tool with my own i
i used MouseDownevent , MouseMoveevent , MouseUpevent and PaintEvent

declare refernce of Point as start point for ex:
Point startPoint = Point.empty;
Write in Mouse Down event:
startPoint = new (e.X,e.Y);
Write in Mouse Move event
Graphics g = this.CreateGraphics()l
g.DrawRectangle(Pens.Red,startPoint.X,startPoint.Y,
e.X-startPoint.X,e.Y-startPoint.Y);

that`s it
sorry i did not send the code because am work here and unfortunlly i don`t have c# editor . and sorry i forget daniweb convention for writting code ;

As BlackSun explained, you will need to manage it yourself using the image Graphics. It is a bit more complicated than the example above, but should move you into the right direction. The image onPaint event will have to remember that you have an active selection (the rectangle, and its deminsions) so that if you refresh the form, the selection will be persistent. You may want to use a popup menu, or something to grab that selection of the image and copy it to another bitmap object for processing (send to file, drag drop, whatever).
