Crystal Image Toolkit 0.80 is ready to download.
New Features:
- CrystalImageGridView now has ZoomFactor: allows scaling of thumbnail images!
See ZoomImageGrid demo and Crystal Picture Show Controller demo. - CrystalPictureTracker: Pan Window that works with CrystalPictureShow.
See Crystal Picture Show Controller demo. - CrystalPictureShow: Hand cursors that allow the user to drag zoomed images around.
- CrystalImageGridView now has a new rounded rect border style. Check out the groovy red borders in the Picture Show Controller demo.
- Crystal Toolkit now integrates log4net. See CrystalLogger object.
You can get even more debug logging by declaring CRYSTAL_DEBUG in project properties/build.
And now it's demo time, with Marvel comics pictures, of course:
CrystalImageGridView: ZoomFactor applied to zoom to a larger thumbnail image. See my earlier article that explains how to set this up. Changes were made to CrystalPictureShowController to add a second trackbar object to control thumbnail zooming.
CrystalPictureTracker: Panning (controlling CrystalPictureBox) in separate window. Tracker window appears when image is larger than client area. You can close it, make it appear again by clicking on the Pan Window button.
CrystalImageGridView: Rounded borders on selected images. There is now a property called BorderState that allows you to switch between these rounded borders and the old square frame. Also, notice that in the split view mode, the CrystalPictureShowController hides the thumbnail trackbar and toolstrip objects auto-magically. Thumbnail sizes in the split mode are fixed, whereas in the vertical orientation (with a sheet of thumbnails) they can be scaled.
This release comes in a ZIP file. Simply unzip the contents to your hard drive, navigate to the root Attilan folder, and double click on CrystalDemo.sln. This solution file contains the Crystal Toolkit plus demo programs. Just build the solution (which compiles the CrystalToolkit library first) and run the demo programs to see how they work. You can run the demo programs without building the source by clicking on "StartDemo.bat" in the root Attilan folder or CrystalDemoLauncher.exe in Attilan\bin.
Download: Crystal Image Toolkit 0.80. Totally free, open-source, C# .NET Framework 2.0 for Windows Forms.
I was looking for a solution creating a transparent trackbar, which lead me to your library. It's working pretty well after short testings. But, is it really intended that in vertical mode the minimum value is on top and the maximum at the bottom?
Cheers.
