Great. How did you get rid of the flickering? In WinForms I always found the double bbuffering to be hit and miss.

And from the clouds a mighty voice spoke:
"Smile and be happy, for it could come worse!"

And I smiled and was happy
And it came worse.

Hi JSOP

Nice app, but I just found a way to make it crash, due to an "Unhandled exception".

Steps used to reproduce the crash:

1) Select an image
(I just used one of the sample images in Windows 7)

2) Get colors

3) Select "Simple visualization"

4) Select "Advanced visualization..."
(Just close the dialog, clicking OK or Cancel)

5) Select "Simple visualization"

6) Select "Advanced visualization..."
(BOOM!!!)

Try and be helpfull, post the stacktrace that was included in the exception Smile | :)

Well, I was trying to be clever with the advanced vis box, and it's come back to bite me on the ass. I wanted to be able to retain the last configured layer set when the user clicked OK in the form, so I figured I'd just hide the form when they clicked ok or cancel, and then re-show it when the clicked the adv vis button in the main form. Essentially, I was treating the form as if it was modeless, and doing that allowed me to not worry about the layer set between invocations. Well, fixing the problem you reported caused me to repeatedly bring up the form and eventually, it stops showing (even though the code is being hit). I therefore have to refactor the mechanism...

Pretty awesome!

I'm curious to see how everyone does without any supporting documentation (which I'm currently working on), and to see if anything weird happens.

I could figure it out almost instantly (may not mean anything, who are the intended users?)
You could change "select image" to "select background", but isn't a big issue.

A few minor points
* Make jpg the default extension (have to change it every time)
* How do you save? Is that unimplemented, or am I blind?
* A list would be nice, for the images (show everything in the backgrounds folder, maybe?)
* Allow resizing the advanced visualization form.

The crash in the message above happens for me too. Also, changing to the saved objects tab after closing advanced visualization also crashes it (I'll send the exception details if needed)

intended users - the only thing I know about them is that they own guns and computers.

Saving objects is planned, but not currently available to the users.

Resizing in the advanced visualization form - to what purpose? The only thing they're doing there is building the weapon image. Resizing doesn't apply.

Some weapon images were clipped, I thought it would be nice to see the entire thing.
(or scale the weapon, that would make more sense I suppose)

Yeah, that's probably the pistol, right?

~~I'll think on that a bit...~~ Fixed.

Another possible bug

* Pick a background
* Select only some of the colors in it
* Open advanced visualization form

Result - all colors are used in the camo pattern

The selected colors on the main form are only for the simple visualization. The advanced visualization attempts to fill all the available layers for the selected pattern. That's why the simple render differs from the initial render in the advanced form.

It looks like I may have to re-organize the main form a bit.

BTW, I added a label on the Saved Objects tab that says it will be implemented in a future release.

Good stuff John. I will download it tonight and go over it with a fine toothed comb. Big Grin | :-D

Thanks for sharing this project of yours with us.

Just along for the ride.

Would anyone here that's already setup to compile under Linux/mono be willing to try compiling an app of mine to see if it will a) compile and then b) run?

It's .Net 4, and according to the mono page, I'm not using anything that mono pukes on.

Sure, will post a screenshot of it running on OpenSUSE if it runs, a list of errors if it doesn't compile. Where can I download the source?
