Before I Dive In, Plug In Overview Question

[DataJuggler]

I have a Nuget package called DataJuggler.PixelDatabase, and a new website that uses it https://pixeldatabase.net , and I have installed Code Labs on my computer.

 

The UI samples I saw all used sliders, and my program needs a text editor to type or paste in text for BQL, which stands for Bitmap Query language, which is very similar to SQL for databases.

 

Is is possible to build a UI where a user can type or paste in Text like this?

 

BQL to remove the black background:

Hide

Total < 50

 

Click the Apply Button:

 

I think this would be a useful add on for Paint.Net. I wrote my program to do some of the things I couldn't do with Paint.Net.

 

Thanks for any guidance. The code to replace the pixels looks straight forward in the plug Render method, as I do the same thing already I just don't break it up into smaller rectangles.

Yes, a multiline text control is available.

In CodeLab, open the Interface Designer (Ctrl+I).  There are many different controls to choose from.

 

 

You can also create fully custom WinForms dialog for your plugin, but that's usually unnecessary (also not support within CodeLab).

I think @null54 and @Ego Eram Reputo can help here.

Windows Forms is my background, I read the Visual Studio part.

Thanks, I have another question, I will start another thread because it is two part.
