Hi,

I'm really struggling to find any 2D (or 3D) graphical components for Delphi 
.NET (2007)
Even some code examples would help.
The kind of basic features I'm looking for are:
View window zooming / panning
Vectors, lines and shape drawing - with possibly onscreen editing
Text
Images etc...

When will Delphi be able to access the WPF ?
- There is a c# 2008 example for how to create your own drawing application 
using WPF - is there any way I could use this info in Delphi .net ? Would I 
be able to make use of a WPF c# assembly in Delphi at this time ?


Regards,
Andy

Today in RAD2007, with some work though and no designers.

C# no longer supported with designers, so not really viable.
My guess is that next version will drop c# completely.

Yes, but no designer support.

programatically only, no designer support.

To  answer one of my questions, I found this in Code Central:

http://cc.codegear.com/item/25086
At the least, its a starting point for getting a WPF application out of 
Delphi .net (Although I don't like the fact you have a Dos box opening up !)

What I'd REALLY like to know is this:

Is it worth pursuing WPF or .NET 3 or XAML in Delphi at all ?
Or, should I be getting into C# and VS2008 ?

Regards,
Andy

Here is something that I've been working on.  It creates a 2D chart in 
dotNet and imports it into the VCL TImage component.

http://www.umtanum.com/Backup/InvDotNet.zip

This seems to be a very powerful approach (2D only), but it isn't clear that 
Borland (or CodeGear) will survive, much less take advantage of the 
wonderful IDE that they have.  I've posted problems here and in 
QualityCentral and gotten no response.  A few years ago I would sometimes 
get a response in a few minutes.

Dear Andy,
you can have a look at Rt-Tools2D: http://www.rt-science.com/tools2d.html
also available on VCL .net
