Project:
Creating movable, re-sizable objects that are defined and displayed using data in an external file that will also record changes in those objects.
Information:
An XML file that contains information (size and position..x y cx cy) about rectangles (A B C D).
Rectangles "snap" to a grid that is 25x25.
Rectangles can only be sized in increments of 25.
Rectangles cannot overlap.
Rectangles contain editable text that will be displayed in the top left corner of the rectangle.
New rectangles can be created and defined.
Existing rectangles can be moved and edited.
Changes will be updated in XML file immediately (AutoSave)
A right click menu on rectangle with options to delete, copy, edit the rectangle. (on Edit menu selection Edit Dialog to define the x y cx cy and text of the rectangle will be called. Data in Edit Dialog updates data in XML file and rectangle displays changes immediatley.)
I'm pretty sure all this can be done. Just look at the Dialog Editor for QM. Pretty much what I am defining here.
I'll be working on this over the next couple days, any help or ideas would be totally rad! Especially a point to get started at.
Thanks,
Jimmy Vig
