Hi every one.

I was wondering to create a very simple application to design doors and windows.

A window is contain of many parts like frame,Mullion and sash and glass.

I want it to have a toolbox and a canvas to draw it.

The complete and heavy application which is used for quotation is Ra Workshop you can find the online presentation here:

The thing in my head is i create a component named Frame,Sash,Glass and etc and use them at runtime, but i couldn't figure out how to create them like the software.
I dont know the logic behind this graphical representation.

Any help would be great

I cant figure out what is the image! If you see the window in software, is it generated by GDI+ or is it image?

Sorry, I don't understand. You can create a dynamic image by using the GDI+ drawing functions. Or you can load an image from a file and display it on your Window.

I mean how the programmer create the window??? Is he using Image functions or creating graphic shapes???

A Window is created from a base template based on GDI. However it may (and mostly does) contain images as well as other GDI shapes. The shapes in the link above are mostly GDI/GDI+ I would think, but you would need to ask the people who created the program.
