This small project consists of a small subset of our existing application which uses Win32 API calls to draw text to the UI.
The project uses DrawTextEX, CreateFontIndirect, GetTextFace, GetTextMetrics, CreateEnhMetaFileLong, and GetTextExtentPoint.
The app draws text (from resource dll provided with project) to a picture box and supports bullet points, line numbering, and line feeds. These are denoted as symbols within the text string in the resource file. Below is an illustration of this:
1. text = line numbering
2.
* text = bullet
3. \n = line feed
The purpose of this project is to make the sample project support all character types including Japanese, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, and Korean; and must continue to support the bullets, line numbering, and line feeds.
The project requires extensive knowledge of the previously mentioned API calls, Visual Basic, as well as experience with DBCS (double byte character sets).
Sample procedures and resource strings will be provided during the bidding process to select coders.
