Hi,

I understand your application supports embedding images formats - gif, bmp, jpeg into a box.

I want to know if there is any way Windows Meta File (wmf) images can also be accomodated.

Even if it is not possible to inherently display wmf, can you allow for maybe a control to be embedded inside the box and the control take the responsibility of rendering the wmf.

Or is there other way at all showing a wmf image in a box ?

Any help in this regard would really be useful.

Thanks,
Praveen

Hi Stoyan,

1. I want to use the applet mode because it provides the rich user interaction that I am looking for. So, ImageMap mode is not an option for me.

2. Displaying images in wmf is also important to me because it provides a vector based graphics whereas png or gifs provide raster images. Vector graphics have the advantage of smooth rendering on large zooming in (which your tool provides), whereas raster graphic images tend to get blurred on zooming in.

Your application API allows for custom rendering logic to be applied to a box by handling the drawitem event.
I have come across another tool - an applet that renders wmf images.

I was wondering if I can use some of his components and use it against the API you provide to render wmf images in your boxes.

I will be testing this tool out against your component. Since you are more familiar with your flowchart component, I will be much obliged if you also could have look at this other tool and let me know if you think this would be a feasible solution (also maybe provide an example ).

Also, thanks for your reply to my post of handling lane on the client side. It solved one problem atleast.

Hi,
I am ready to buy your component. It works fantastic.  I have developed with your component a nice scorecard, but when I tried to test your component in a development server, it appears that works, but at the end, the image doesnt display.  It seems like as if there isnt a file image.  A red X appears.  I know that the Image map is there but doesnt display.
I have tested in my computer (XP Professional) with the Visual Studio 2005, and it works OK, but when I published my application and installed in the test server it didnt display.
The server has Windows 2000 server SP4, Framework 2.0 sp1, Internet Explorer 6
Please help me, I need to ensure this component works for buy it inmediately for my presentation.

The code is the following:
                                                  <ndiag:DiagramView
ID="DiagramView1" runat="server"
ClientSideMode="ImageMap" AutoScroll="True"
ImageFormat="image/jpeg"                Behavior="DoNothing" >
</ndiag:DiagramView>

Thanks,

Hello, I have a similar issue to the post above. We have not purchased yet, and are still testing. I just moved my diagram from my local machine to my development server where I do not have the NetDiagram Trail installed. I can go to the url and view the diagram but other people (who do not have the NetDiagram Trial version intalled on their machines) who go to the url do not see the diagram. They get broken image links. I published all the files needed to run including the .jar file. Any help would be greatly appreciated : )
