Windows Forms: forms, events

Version B

Screen's curtains

• 
• 
• 4 semitransparent windows placed on edges of the screen:
  • No caption, no border
  • Red, blue, green and yellow background colors
  • In each window one edge can be moved - this is the only way of resizing the window
  • Show appropriate cursor when the mouse is placed on the edge (for resizing NS or WE)
  • On top of other normal windows
  • Only one window is visible on the taskbar and in the Alt+Tab switch window
  • Closing of any window should terminate the application
• Technical requirements:
  • No problems with repainting during resizing windows
  • Acceptable assumption: size of the screen will not change during application's lifetime
• Hints:
  • Screen: PrimaryScreen, Bounds
  • Form: Location, Width, Height, Opacity
  • Cursor, Cursors

• Approximate points:
  • 4 windows: 1.0
  • windows features: 2.5
  • windows positions: 1.5
  • windows resizing: 5.0
