Introduction

In" kaspersky anti_virus 6.0", there is a component witch is the same as my component

that can shows every texts. There are buttons witch names are "next"&"back"that used

for looking in every texts. I called my component "text wizard".

The way of using

Click on "tool box" with right-click & choose the" choose items ".after add the

'Ehsangolkar.dll'. finally you should drag the textWizard component and drop in your form.

Now it available for using.

White 'Captioncurveradius' property you can change the radius curve. My suggestion for radius curve is '7' default value

In addition, white using 'TextCollectin' you can definite the new items for Textwizard.

TextCollection

How to use :

After clicking on textwizard and adding new item you could change the value items like color, caption box and panel box, caption text caption image, etc.

How to make:

The class as a kind of public has been definition for making text collection witch has inheritance from

System.Collections.CollectionBase class and use

System.Collections.IList interface

You can see the codes of this class here:

public class TextWizardItemCollection : System.Collections.CollectionBase, System.Collections.IList

{

/// <summary>

/// Raised when a Segment is clicked on the control

/// </summary>

public event CollectionUpdatedEventHandler CollectionUpdated;

 

/// <summary>

/// Return the item at the specified index.

/// </summary>

public TextWizardItems this[int index]

{

get

{

return (TextWizardItems)List[index];

}

}

/// <summary>

/// Adds elements to the list.

/// </summary>

/// <param name="items"></param>

public void AddRange(TextWizardItems[] items)

{

foreach (TextWizardItems item in items)

{

this.List.Add(item);

}

OnCollectionUpdated(new EventArgs());

}

/// <summary>

/// Add one element to the list.

/// </summary>

/// <param name="item"></param>

public void Add(TextWizardItems item)

{

List.Add(item);

OnCollectionUpdated(new EventArgs());

}

/// <summary>

/// Inserts an item at the specified index

/// </summary>

/// <param name="index"></param>

/// <param name="item"></param>

public void Insert(int index, TextWizardItems item)

{

this.List.Insert(index, item);

OnCollectionUpdated(new EventArgs());

}

/// <summary>

/// Copies a range of elements from the ArrayList to a compatible one-dimensional Array, 

/// starting at the specified index of the target array.

/// </summary>

/// <param name="array"></param>

/// <param name="index"></param>

public void CopyTo(TextWizardItems[] array, int index)

{

this.List.CopyTo(array, index);

}

/// <summary>

/// When implemented by a class, determines the index of a specific item in the IList.

/// </summary>

/// <param name="item"></param>

public int IndexOf(TextWizardItems item)

{

return this.List.IndexOf(item);

}

/// <summary>

/// Remove the item from the list

/// </summary>

/// <param name="value"></param>

public void Remove(TextWizardItems value)

{

this.List.Remove(value);

OnCollectionUpdated(new EventArgs());

}

/// <summary>

/// Determine if the list contains the item

/// </summary>

/// <param name="value"></param>

/// <returns></returns>

public bool Contains(TextWizardItems value)

{

return this.List.Contains(value);

}

/// <summary>

/// Handles the OnUpdate event 

/// </summary>

/// <param name="e"></param>

protected virtual void OnCollectionUpdated(EventArgs e)

{

if (CollectionUpdated != null)

{

// Invokes the delegates. 

CollectionUpdated(this, e);

}

}

}

Caption-box

To actually draw the caption box:

GraphicsPath myPath = new GraphicsPath();

Pen myPen = new Pen(outlineColor, 1);

// Draw the path to the screen.

myPath.AddArc(this.Width - captionCurveRadius * 2 - 1, Consts.CaptionOffset,

captionCurveRadius * 2, captionCurveRadius * 2, 270, 90);

myPath.AddArc(this.Width - captionCurveRadius * 2 - 1, Consts.CaptionHeight,

captionCurveRadius * 2, captionCurveRadius * 2, 0, 90);

myPath.AddArc(0, Consts.CaptionHeight, captionCurveRadius * 2 - 1,

captionCurveRadius * 2, 90, 90);

myPath.AddArc(0, Consts.CaptionOffset, captionCurveRadius * 2 - 1,

captionCurveRadius * 2, -180, 90);

myPath.AddLine(captionCurveRadius, Consts.CaptionOffset,

this.Width - captionCurveRadius - 1, Consts.CaptionOffset);

e.Graphics.FillPath(b, myPath);

e.Graphics.DrawPath(myPen, myPath);

Panel-box

GraphicsPath panelPath = new GraphicsPath();

panelPath.AddArc(0, Consts.CaptionHeight, captionCurveRadius * 2 - 1,

captionCurveRadius * 2, 180, -90);

panelPath.AddLine(captionCurveRadius, Consts.CaptionHeight + captionCurveRadius * 2,

this.Width - captionCurveRadius, Consts.CaptionHeight + captionCurveRadius * 2);

panelPath.AddArc(this.Width - captionCurveRadius * 2 - 1, Consts.CaptionHeight,

captionCurveRadius * 2, captionCurveRadius * 2, 90, -90);

panelPath.AddLine(this.Width - 1, Consts.CaptionHeight + captionCurveRadius, this.Width - 1,

this.Height - captionCurveRadius);

panelPath.AddArc(this.Width - captionCurveRadius * 2 - 1,

this.Height - captionCurveRadius * 2 - 1,captionCurveRadius * 2, captionCurveRadius * 2, 0, 90);

panelPath.AddLine(this.Width - captionCurveRadius, this.Height - 1,

captionCurveRadius, this.Height - 1);

panelPath.AddArc(0, this.Height - captionCurveRadius * 2 - 1, captionCurveRadius * 2,

captionCurveRadius * 2, 90, 90);

panelPath.AddLine(0, this.Height - captionCurveRadius - 1, 0, captionCurveRadius - 1);

e.Graphics.DrawPath(myPen, panelPath);
