thanks stancrm, will this ensure that the image, say that of a knee will be exactly of the same size of the person's knee whose knee was pictured ?

Hi, I have images of human body parts. Is it possible to view the image at its actual real world size. How can I achieve this ? How do I confirm whether current size of the image is same as its real world size? Thanks in advance for all the help & suggestions.....

thanks for the reply.. i'll put the problem in another way i have 2 controls 1. a customized pictureedit 2. a custom picturebox which is transparent in the customized pictureedit i can measure the distance between 2 points by dragging the mouse from one point to another. in my form i place the second control exactly over the first one i load an image in the first control(in which i can take the measurements) that is underneath then i load different images in the upper transparent picturebox so that i can see both the images overlapping each other.. so far it works fine... now comes the tricky stuff i should be able to drag through the upper transparent control and take the difference in measurements between the 2 images. i can't keep the measurable pictureedit on the top as per the requirements. so what i need to do is drag on the upper transparent picturebox but get measurements as if i dragged on the lower pictureedit. i hope i have made it clearer this time once again thanks for the help

Thanks eslam... i tried using the sendmessage function.. but till now i've not been able to implement it successfully.. so can you help me in this... actually i make the measurement by dragging through the custom pictureedit(i dont have the source code) which is below the covering control i tried sending the WM_MOUSEMOVE alone & WM_LBUTTONDOWN & MOUSEMOVE together but nothing much happened...

[DllImport("user32.dll")]
static extern IntPtr SetParent(IntPtr hWndChild, IntPtr hWndNewParent);

    \[DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto)\]
    private static extern int SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd, int wMsg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam);

    private const int WM\_MOUSEMOVE = 0x200;
    private const int WM\_LBUTTONDOWN = 0x201;
    private void button2\_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        SendMessage(axe.Handle, WM\_LBUTTONDOWN, IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero);
        SendMessage(axe.Handle, WM\_MOUSEMOVE, IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero);

}

once again thanks for showing the light.. hope you woulld be able to lead me further thanks

hi, need your help to solve this issue.. i have a custom pictureedit control in which i have many custom properties and events. i need to place an image OVER this in another ordinary picture edit and should be able to work on the events in the picture edit in the lower layer. i'll make it clearer... in my custom pictureedit i have added a feature to measure the distance between 2 points. now what i need to do is place another image over the main image and while comparing these images should be able to take the measurements from the lower image... hope you guys understood my issue clearly... tons of thanks in advance for any help

Thanks Mr.Thomas for the suggestion... But I think there should be some other better option to do this...

Why dont you just dock the panels properly & then set the visible to true or false based on your parameter. If all the panels are docked properly setting the visibility will do the trick for you

Hi, I am deploying 5 projects in a single msi file. I need to add a form so that at the time of installation the user can make a custom installation of the products (like we do while installing MS Office).. How can I achieve this....? THANKS in advance for any suggestions....

I have 2 applications developed in .net. When I install both these applications in a single system a complete set of dlls are created each in corresponding application folders. Is it possible to put these dlls in a common folder and make the applications reference them from the same common folder ? Can this be done using any options in the .net msi project ? Thanks in advance for any replies & suggestions......

Thanks Simon. The main problem I'm facing is that the xml will be variable. I'm providing a xml editor to the user so that he can add as many questions in it. With uncertain number of questions do you have any suggestions on how i'll be able to manage the layout ? Thanks Again for the reply.

Is it possible to control the layout of controls on a form at runtime. Actually I have a xml file which will contain some questions & the type of answer it expects. I need to design an interface with these questions on different labels & appropriate controls for accepting the answer to these questions (it might check box, radio button or textbox...) Thanks in Advance, Cheers
