I hope you can help me and this is a big code, so I'll try to explain it short. I'm making a program that can place logic gates and that can connect to each other, I'm using the OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e) method and I have troubles with connecting gates with a line. (the code is also really chaotic)
I add my gates in a List
private List<Tuple<Point, int>> droppedShapes = new List<Tuple<Point, int>>();
And my lines in
private List<Tuple<Point, Point>> allLines = new List<Tuple<Point, Point>>();
So I can save the x-y coordinates.
I use buttons to connect my lines, so on each end of connection I got a button that I can click. But I can only connect the 2 inputs of one component to each other.
Here is my code, I hope you can help me!
Here you can see how I draw my components and buttons.
protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
{
base.OnPaint(e);
screen.Clear(Color.Black);
Pen whitePen = new Pen(Color.White);
SolidBrush tealBrush = new SolidBrush(Color.Teal);
SolidBrush whiteBrush = new SolidBrush(Color.White);
SolidBrush yellowBrush = new SolidBrush(Color.Yellow);
SolidBrush grayBrush = new SolidBrush(Color.Gray);
SolidBrush redBrush = new SolidBrush(Color.Red);
foreach (var line in allLines)
{
screen.DrawLine(whitePen, line.Item1, line.Item2);
}
foreach (var pair in this.droppedShapes)
{
var shapeType = pair.Item2; // Reveal your own shape object here
var location = pair.Item1;
switch (shapeType) // Reveal your own shape object here
{
case 0:
screen.DrawRectangle(whitePen, location.X - 10, location.Y - 10, 20, 20);
screen.DrawString("&", new Font(FontFamily.GenericMonospace, (float)18), whiteBrush, location.X - 11, location.Y - 13);
screen.DrawLine(whitePen, location.X - 20, location.Y + 6, location.X - 10, location.Y + 6);
screen.DrawLine(whitePen, location.X - 20, location.Y - 6, location.X - 10, location.Y - 6);
screen.DrawLine(whitePen, location.X + 20, location.Y, location.X + 10, location.Y);
newB = new Point(location.X - 25, location.Y + 2);
newB2 = new Point(location.X - 25, location.Y - 10);
newB3 = new Point(location.X + 20, location.Y - 3);
button1 = new Button();
button2 = new Button();
button3 = new Button();
button1.Size = new Size(8, 8);
button2.Size = new Size(8, 8);
button3.Size = new Size(8, 8);
newB.Offset(0, 0);
newB2.Offset(0, 0);
newB3.Offset(0, 0);
button1.Location = newB;
button2.Location = newB2;
button3.Location = newB3;
button1.Click += Button_Click1;
button2.Click += Button_Click2;
button3.Click += Button_Click3;
drawPanel.Controls.Add(button1);
drawPanel.Controls.Add(button2);
drawPanel.Controls.Add(button3);
if (jaOfNee == true)
{
screen.DrawString(pair.Item1.ToString(), new Font(FontFamily.GenericMonospace, (float) 6), whiteBrush, location.X - 25, location.Y - 25);
}
break;
case 1:
screen.DrawRectangle(whitePen, location.X - 10, location.Y - 10, 20, 20);
screen.DrawString("1", new Font(FontFamily.GenericMonospace, (float)10), whiteBrush, location.X, location.Y - 9);
screen.DrawString(">", new Font(FontFamily.GenericMonospace, (float)8), whiteBrush, location.X - 8, location.Y - 10);
screen.DrawLine(whitePen, location.X + 1, location.Y + 1, location.X - 5, location.Y + 1);
screen.DrawLine(whitePen, location.X - 20, location.Y + 6, location.X - 10, location.Y + 6);
screen.DrawLine(whitePen, location.X - 20, location.Y - 6, location.X - 10, location.Y - 6);
screen.DrawLine(whitePen, location.X + 20, location.Y, location.X + 10, location.Y);
newB = new Point(location.X - 25, location.Y + 2);
newB2 = new Point(location.X - 25, location.Y - 10);
newB3 = new Point(location.X + 20, location.Y - 3);

button1.Location = newB;

button1.Click += Button_Click1;
button2.Click += Button_Click2;
button3.Click += Button_Click3;
drawPanel.Controls.Add(button1);

drawPanel.Controls.Add(button3);
if (jaOfNee == true)
{
screen.DrawString(pair.Item1.ToString(), new Font(FontFamily.GenericMonospace, (float) 6), whiteBrush, location.X - 25, location.Y - 25);
}
break;
default:
break;
}
}
for (int i = drawPanel.Left - 5; i < drawPanel.Right + 10; i += 5)
{
for (int j = drawPanel.Top - 50; j < drawPanel.Bottom - 5; j += 5)
{
screen.FillEllipse(redBrush, i, j, 2, 2); //fills screen with a grid
}
}
// base.OnPaint(e);
// draw current location
if (currentLocation != null)
{
Point p = currentLocation.Value;
screen.FillEllipse(tealBrush, p.X + 1, p.Y, -4, -4);
}
drawPanel.CreateGraphics().DrawImage(backBuffer, 0, 0); //allows you to draw
}
}
(This is how I try to connect my 2 buttons)
foreach (var line in allLines)
{
screen.DrawLine(whitePen, line.Item1, line.Item2);
}
I don't use button 3 yet because I want to connect my inputs first so don't mind button 3. This is how I try to save my X-Y coordinates.
private Point point1;
private Point point2;
private void Button_Click1(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Console.WriteLine("button1");
point1 = button1.Location;
}
private void Button_Click2(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Console.WriteLine("button2");
point2 = button2.Location;
}
private void Button_Click3(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Console.WriteLine("button3");
}
private void DrawLine_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
allLines.Add(new Tuple<Point, Point>(point1, point2));
}
After I press the button DrawLine it adds the location to the list. Sorry for the horrible code. I hope you understand my question a little bit more, it's really hard to explain my problem.
