Annotation OCX VB.NET Sample

Overview

The annotation sample focuses on getting an image, editing it before faxing and manipulating the image. This sample covers TWAIN sources, annotations, zooming and rotating the workspace, and getting the image information.

File Menu

The File menu allows the use of common items such as Open, Close and Save which use the appropriate DLL for the appropriate image type. For all saving and loading of TIFF, CALS or MMR files, BITIFF is used. JPEG files can be manipulated using BIJPEG. Dimensions can be found as well as loading, saving, encoding, opening and closing. Similar functionality using BIPCX DLL is used to change PCX as well as DCX files. PNG files use BIPNG and TGA files use BITGA. This menu also allows Print and Printer Setup.

Edit Menu

The Edit menu utilizes Undo and the level of Undo events.

View Menu

The View menu can Scale the viewable image to the window, Zoom to a specified ratio and set the viewable tool bars. Here, the BIDISP DLL is used for all zooming functionality. Both zooming to a ratio and a selected area can be accomplished using the BIDISP. This menu also can set the Magnifying Glass.

Image Menu

The Image menu can Flip, Rotate and Invert the workspace. In order to rotate, flip or invert the workspace, the BIDIB DLL can be used
