A common use of an imaging component like csXImage is to enable the user to draw on an image using the mouse. This simple VB project shows the use of the mouse events of csXImage for this purpose. It demonstrates the "rubber-banding" method by which the user is able to first fix one end of a line, then move the mouse around, with the line following the movements, before selecting the end point.
When the VB project is run, a form is displayed with an empty, white image. When the Draw Line button is clicked, the user can then click the mouse on the image to start drawing a line. As long as the mouse buttom remains down, the mouse can be moved around the image and a line will always join the start point to the current mouse position, like a stretching rubber band. When the mouse button is released, the drawing of the line is completed.
