VintaSoft Annotation .NET Plug-in Discussions

Hello,

I want to create a basic DICOM viewer that has different interactors configured for different mouse buttons:

Mouse wheel (or middle mouse): zoom in or out
Left mouse: click and drag: pan the image (horizontal and vertical)
Right mouse: window width / window level

I also want to:
- remove the scroll bars from the viewer
- change the cursor for the width / level interactor to a half white / half black circle as is common in medical imaging.

Could you please show me the most basic way to achieve this?

Your examples are much too large to understand how to do basic things, they are complete applications and it takes a lot of time to wade through all the "extra" code that is not relevant to the specific task at hand.

I just would like to have a simple example that shows how to add interactors to a viewer, specify to which mouse button they listen, and what cursors they should use.

Thanks,
Peter

Hello Peter,

Please see below the source code of WPF window, which implements all necessary functionality. Source code will work correctly with VintaSoft Imaging .NET SDK 12.1.15.1 or higher.

Here is source codes of MainWindow.xaml file:

Here is source code of MainWindow.xaml.cs file:

            // create DICOM visual tool
            WpfDicomViewerTool dicomViewerTool = new WpfDicomViewerTool();

            // specify that DICOM visual tool should change window level in DICOM image when right mouse button is used
            dicomViewerTool.SetInteractionMode(VintasoftMouseButtons.Right, DicomViewerToolInteractionMode.WindowLevel);

            // set cursor for action that changes window level in DICOM image
            dicomViewerTool.WindowLevelCursor = Cursors.Pen;

            // create pan tool
            WpfPanTool panTool = new WpfPanTool();

            // create composite visual tool, which combines pan tool and DICOM viewer tool, and set visual tool as current visual tool of image viewer
            imageViewer1.VisualTool = new WpfCompositeVisualTool(panTool, dicomViewerTool);
            
            // disable scrolling in image viewer
            imageViewer1.AutoScroll = false;
        }

        private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            OpenFileDialog openDicomFileDialog = new OpenFileDialog();

            if (openDicomFileDialog.ShowDialog() == true)
            {
                imageViewer1.Images.Add(openDicomFileDialog.FileName);
            }
        }
    }
}

Please let me know if you will have any question or problem.
