Dear Programmers. I believe, that many of you have gotten tired from the rectangular and monotonous objects of programs . Unfortunately, modern Integrated Development Environments don’t offer tools for solving this problem. Certainly, you may take the points describing a graphic object ( Form, Button, PictureBox...) from the graphic editor and write the code of the program by yourself. It is certainly possible if you have got a few points or a lot of spare time and passion. While creating professional real object the number of points is measured by thousands. WinRazor is not a graphic editor. It is only a tool for programmers, which helps automate the creation of not rectangular objects. First you create a WinRazor Skin File (*.wrs) for each object by the Skin Editor or Analyzer. Then you insert the ActiveX Control to your project and use the Control's functions for cutting of chosen objects according to the created skin files. The WinRazor Control allows to make dithered objects from existing objects, and also contains the internal Timer object and the PopUp Menu object. One of the main goals of WinRazor technology is to provide compatibility with any IDE. The WinRazor ActiveX Control was tested and works properly in C++ Builder, Delphi, Visual C++ 6, Visual Basic 6, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Microsoft Office macros, Microsoft Visual Studio. NET.
Main features:
1. Cutting of any windowed objects (Form, PictureBox, Button, TextBox ...).
2. Creation of skins for any shapes by the WinRazor Skin Editor.
3. Creation of skins by the Analyzer.
4. One binary skin file (*.wrs) for any object (external region + holes).
5. Skins attachment at runtime.
6. Skins attachment at design time. In this case the skins are embedded in the EXE file.
7. Direct download of the skins from HTTP server to an array of skins.
8. Stretchable skins support.
9. Large system fonts support.
10. Desktop themes support (Win9X, WinXP, Vista)
11. The Remote Skin Adjustment tool quickly corrects the skin’s position on the form.
12. The WinRazor Messages allow to manage data transfer between applications, which use the WinRazor Control.
13. The WinRazor Control contains an internal Timer object.
14. The WinRazor Control contains an internal full-function runtime PopUp Menu object.
15. The WinRazor Control allows to make dithered colors in the existing graphic objects (Form, Image, Button…)
16. The WinRazor Control provides the functions, which simulate the keyboard and the mouse events.
17. The WinRazor Control provides the functions, which allow to find any window’s handle.
18. The WinRazor ActiveX Control works in any IDE.
19. The WinRazor ActiveX Control is independent of any Dlls.
20. The set of simple and convenient functions allows to manage the interaction between WinRazor Control and an application in any programming language.
What's new in the version 5.1 ?
1. Windows Vista support.
2. Any picture size is supported in the Skin Editor.
3. Problem with miltiple timers is fixed. WinRazor services support multiple instances.
4. Improved examples for C# and VB.NET.
