If I understand you correctly, you want to draw a rectangle at the angle defined by a line.
You will need to do some Cartesian geometry and draw 4 lines to construct a rectangle.
Graphics.DrawRectangle() will not help in this case.

Hi All,
After posting a question on here a day ago I kept on wondering did I use the right terminology to communicate my problem? Am I confusing you all by what I'm trying to convey? What wording should I be using to convey the subject matter at hand? These are my questions I have for this post. For instance saying I'm calling a CR 11.5 object in my win application, is that the correct way of putting it? Here's the post:
I have this Crystal Reports Utility that is helping us convert reports from 9 to 11.5 and then up to CR2008. I know this sounds strange but it was the time line of when the utility was created in. Ok so in this application both CR 11.5 and CR 2008 objects (dlls) are being used. The app first calls 11.5 reportdocument object, does some work and attempts to close the com object with Marshall.Interop.Release(com object) and then proceeds to call a CR2008 object. When it does try to instantiate a CR2008 object I get a com error. It seems as if, one the GC is not disposing of 11.5 reportdocuement object yet and two there must be some common crystal reports dll being shared between the two versions. Does this sound like a fair assessment of the situation? Outside of shutting down the app and running each procedure separately which just confirms the dll conflict. How else can I confirm that this is happening?
So I'm not interested so much about this issue as I am in trying to explain it. This means a lot to me since communication is one of the keys to being a good programmer. At least in my eyes.

Nope I'm being truly honest here. I'm more interested at this point in knowing if
I'm getting the point across.

Did you stop to think that maybe no-one knows the answer to your original question, which is why there were no responses.
After reading your original question the only thing I could think of was why would you be doing it, this doesn't help you with the problem you have so I didn't post a response.

At least he's making sure he phrased his question correctly. Many of the people that post here don't care, or are completely incapable of posting a correctly phrased question..45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly

This is true, unfortunately.

Guys I'm being very sincere in this post. I'm just asking am I using the right terminology in describing my issue, that's it. I'm not trying to be tricky in trying to get my orig post answered.
I was at Barnes and Nobles yesterday reading "Coders at Work" by Peter Seibel which talks about what certain great coders practices are like. One of the take aways from the book is good communication. Which got me thinking, am I using the right terminology in describing my issues(posts)?
I just want to know can you understand what I'm trying to convey? Which no one has answered yet. lol

There wasn't anything wrong with your terminology, at least as far as I was concerned.
Keep in mind though, that communication isn’t just your ability to accurately describe what you need to get across but also to comprehend what others are trying to communicating to you.

It would seem that what I really want to do is move around a child form based on mouse coordinates and keep the focus on the parent form. The movement of the child form would be referenced to the cursor. Any guidence would be appreciated.

|
|
|
|
OK I've figured this out. Thanks.

The proper response should have been to include the solution so anyone with a similar issue could see it as well. Short of that, since no one had responded delete the post, which you can't do now.

I got conversion from lat/long to georef(x and y coordinates) in this site itself. But did not get from lat/long to mils...

You already posted question and this one is still linked to that post, so post there.

I'm having trouble figuring this out. I want to move around a form using mouse coordinates, much like a tooltip moves with the cursor. In other words I want the form to maintain a fixed relative position to the cursor. Any help would be much appreciated.
|
|
|
|
|
That is eazy.
Use MouseMove event and calculate the difrance betwen previous saved position and current mouse position. After that, handle Form.Location in orther to change position.

I had thought I could do something like this but I just get a flickering mess?
void Form1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
this.Location = new Point(e.X, e.Y);
}
|
|
|
|
|
The problem with this code is, that Location is screen based cordinate and e.x, e.y are client based cordinates.
it gees like this:
private int x;
private int y;
private bool first = true;
void Form1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
if (first)
{
x=e.X;
y=e.Y;
return;
}
int aX = x-e.X;
int aY = y-e.Y;
this.Location = new Point(this.Location.X-aX, this.Location.Y-aY);
x = e.X;
y = e.Y;
}
for flickering issue try setting Double Buffer.
this.SetStyle(
ControlStyles.UserPaint |
ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint |
ControlStyles.DoubleBuffer, true);
ps: I am coding from memory without actualy testing for errors
|

Thanks, but is it possible to move the form with the cursor when its not over the form? Woulkd it be easier if I was moving a child form within the area of a parent form, and how would I communication the mousemove events to the child form?
