Dear Sir,
I would like to develop an application on windows mobile 2003 and 5.0 of the following features:
1, The camera shot a picture and display it on the mobile device’s screen.
2, Since the resolution of the device’s screen is usually much poorer than the picture, users would like to zoom it. The scenario could be designed as following: there are a small circle on the snapshot of the picture. Users are capable of moving it via keys. When selected, the screen display the zoomed portion of the picture.
I am a beginner of windows mobile developer, I am not acquaintance with the resources of windows mobile sdk and .net compact frame work. I could you tell me how to realize the above effect as well as the resources and architecture I should involve. I have some experience of VS2005/C# and SQL 2005.
would you please reply to jademobile@126.com

The routines below handle zooming etc.
Screen Width etc
Dim theScreen As Rectangle
theScreen = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds()
Fit to Screen
Me.PictureBox1.Width = thescreen.width
Me.PictureBox1.Height = theScreen.height
Me.vScrollBar1.Visible = False
Me.hScrollBar1.Visible = False
Me.PictureBox1.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage
Show normal
Me.vScrollBar1.Visible = True
Me.hScrollBar1.Visible = True
Me.PictureBox1.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.Normal
Me.PictureBox1.Refresh()
Zoom In/Out
...
Case 3 ' + Zoom In
PictureBox1.Width = PictureBox1.Width + (PictureBox1.Width * 0.1)
PictureBox1.Height = PictureBox1.Height + (PictureBox1.Height * 0.1)
ReShow_Image()
Case 4 ' - Zoom Out
PictureBox1.Width = PictureBox1.Width - (PictureBox1.Width * 0.1)
PictureBox1.Height = PictureBox1.Height - (PictureBox1.Height * 0.1)
ReShow_Image()
...
Public Sub ReShow_Image()
Me.PictureBox1.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage
If PictureBox1.Width >= theScreen.width Or PictureBox1.Height >= thscreen.height Then
Me.vScrollBar1.Maximum = Me.PictureBox1.Height + Me.hScrollBar1.Height
Me.hScrollBar1.Maximum = Me.PictureBox1.Width + Me.vScrollBar1.Width
Me.panel1.Size = Me.PictureBox1.Size
Me.hScrollBar1.Value = 0
Me.vScrollBar1.Visible = True
Me.hScrollBar1.Visible = True
Else
Me.vScrollBar1.Visible = False
Me.hScrollBar1.Visible = False
End If
PictureBox1.Refresh()
End Sub
Panning
Private Sub PictureBox1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.MouseDown
bDragging = True
sx = e.X
sy = e.Y
End Sub
Private Sub PictureBox1_MouseUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.MouseUp
bDragging = False
End Sub
Private Sub PictureBox1_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.MouseMove
If bDragging Then
With PictureBox1
nx = .Left - sx + e.X
ny = .Top - sy + e.Y
.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(nx, ny)
End With
End If
End Sub
HTH
