Leadtools.WinForms.CommonDialogs.Color Introduction

LEADTOOLS Common Dialog boxes greatly simplify development by extending Windows common dialogs to provide imaging-specific capabilities. The Common Dialog functions provide professional common imaging dialogs such as image processing, conversion and effects. Before-and-after thumbnail previewing of image saves processing time and avoids un-dos.

LEADTOOLS Common Dialog libraries provide a set of common dialog boxes that combine Windows Common Dialog functionality with LEADTOOLS imaging functionality. Common Dialogs are provided for FileOpen, FileSave, Color Resolution, Image Processing/Filtering, and Effects. Options include specifying your own String and/or Text, as well as handle Language Customization – ideal for localizing software for international users.

LEADTOOLS Common Dialogs also provide input dialog boxes for all of the LEADTOOLS image processing functions. These dialogs allow you to quickly and easily enable your application to gather input from end-users for the parameters required by the various LEADTOOLS functions. These dialogs can also be used to automatically process the image based on end-user input (thus reducing the amount of code you have to write).

Key features:

• Extended FileOpen and FileSave dialogs with LEADTOOLS imaging-specific options.
• Thumbnail Preview option allows the user to preview images without loading them.
• Reusable dialogs for the most common LEADTOOLS image processing functions and effects.
• Thumbnail Preview for image processing dialogs allows the user to preview the change without actually affecting the original image with an optional before† and after thumbnail.
• The thumbnail preview can be zoomed and scrolled to any part of the image to see the details.

• A progress bar that indicates the status of applying the effect is available.

• An optional Help Button lets you provide custom help information for each dialog.

• User Interface control for the dialogs is provided through flags passed to each dialog function or method allowing the text in the dilaogs to be changed or localized.

• Optional automatic processing of the image by the dialog to simplify development.

• Color selection dialogs that support a number of color spaces with the ability to convert between them.
