Hi everyone,
I am making a restaurant layout software, where basically the user selects various items (tables, chairs, etc.) and drags them into a workspace. The user should be able to place the items at any location inside of the designated workspace, should be able to rotate them, and after placing the object, they should be able to double-click the object and get/set some properties associated to it.
I don't need help with the code so much as I need a push in the right direction. I've searched around on the web, but I think I don't know the right key-words. The closest application I could find is what's called a "level editor" for making video game levels.
Specifically, I'm looking for what kind of "controls" I would use for the items and the workspace? It would be nice if I could use something that is already built into Visual Studio (2008), but I'm not opposed to downloading a third-party control, as long as its free or reasonably inexpensive.
Thanks!
Eric
PS: Forgot to mention: I'm using C# Winforms in Visual Studio 2008. I also have VS 2010, although I haven't installed it yet.
