COP4226, Text Assignment Continuation

This application will extend the draw text assignment from last week. In addition to the requirements from the last assignment, you will add image processing, drag and drop, complex binding, and interop. If your application is missing any features, complete them in this assignment.

Avoid long methods. Each method that you create should be short, to promote encapsulation. If you have a method that is longer than 25 lines, then it probably needs to be divided into smaller methods.

General Guidelines

Create an accessible user interface with many of the features covered in this course.

• Use the control library for this course as needed.
• Use interfaces to encapsulate implementation details. Design code so that the implementation details of data could be changed in the future without having to rewrite all the code that accesses that data.
• Create Oath and About dialogs as in other assignments.
• Create enumerations as needed.
• A thread may only access objects it creates. It may pass ownership of an object to another thread, but it may not share variables with another thread.
• Add a status bar, tooltips, help information, error checking, menus, etc.

Drag and Drop

Add the ability to drag text from another application. When the text is dropped, add a text element to your document for each word in the dragged text.

Grid View

Add a new view to your application. Use a grid view to display all the data in your document. Be able to edit individual items, insert new ones, and delete. The user should be able to switch easily between the new grid view and the graphic view from last week. Use complex data binding.

Dynamic Cursor

Add a dynamic cursor to your application. Use interop to create the cursor.

Image Processing

• Add the ability to save the graphic view as an image.
• Add the ability to open a PNG image, change any color in it to a different color, and then save the image.

Submitting the Assignment
