We have worked on CadoDraw to
improve the representation of text.
We have also added some new methods. Drag
& Drop
The drawbox now implements the events
OnDragOver and OnDragDrop. As a result you can now drag objects from other controls onto
the drawbox.
Copy & Paste
CadoDraw's drawbox creates two clipboard formats using the CopyToClipboard method:
| - |
The private format of the respective drawbox allows you to
copy graphic objects with all links and data fields. You can, however, only copy within
the drawbox itself or from one instance of a drawbox to another instance of the same
drawbox. |
|
| - |
The metafile format solely stores the graphic
representation of the objects. Due to this feature, graphic objects from a drawbox can be
copied to any other application which is capable of representing metafiles (e.g. MS Word).
|

Any shape you like for bitmaps and
JPEGs
Graphic objects displaying a bitmap adapt the shape of the bitmap exactly to your
outline. It's your choice whether you want the bitmap enlarged in order to fit it exactly
into the object's outline, or whether you would rather trim the bitmap at its edges. The
printing quality of bitmaps has been improved and is now up to very high standards. |
Three additional text
components
The new components are designed to replace the old TcdLabels component.
| TcdText |
creates text objects on a transparent background. |
|
| TcdTextlabs |
creates text labels in various colors and shapes. The size
of the label is automatically fitted to the size of the text. |
|
| TcdTextlabs2D |
creates text labels of variable size. The minimum size of
the label is determined by the size of text field, the maximum size can be selected by the
user. |
|
Rotation of graphic objects
Up to now you could only rotate rectangular objects. The new CadoDraw 4.0 lets you
rotate objects of any shape as long as they have one single point of reference.
This applies mainly to the rotation of
| - |
ellipses |
| - |
bitmaps |
| - |
metafiles |
| - |
multi-line text |
