I'm a newbie to .net, although I have played a little with other programming
(simple VB stuff years ago, plus plenty of VBA since then).
I have some high-res pictures that I'd like to display on a PPC (Ipaqs and
Dell Axims) where the user can select different levels of zoom- either via a
menu, like on the Ipaq image viewer, or by using the difference between a
single tap (zoom in) or tap&hold (zoom out) on the picture. It would be
really cool if the "relative" part of the picture stayed the same, e.g. if I
am zoomed in on the [center-right] part of the picture and zoom out one
level, whatever was in the center of my first view stays centered in my next
view (unless it is against an edge).
So far, I've just be working in HTML and linking different resolutions of
the same picture, but I don't have a good way to fake the zoom in/zoom out
functionality (hyperlinking the picture only gives me half the solution, and
it doesn't preserve relative viewing position).
Are there any controls (preferably free) that I should look at and play
with? Any other hints, tips, or tricks?
I have access to a machine with VS.Net 2003 on it, and heck, who needs sleep
anyway ;-)
Many thanks,
Keith
