Is it possible to control multiple viewports using the .net sdk. I have setup a Picturebox that displays a dbp display in it. I would like another smaller picturebox displaying another dbp display that I can control independently of the first one.

I attached a picture in case I am not clear. (The picbox with the red circle was pasted into the image to show what I want to do.)

Thanks

I don't think that's possible. I tried adding a second PictureBox in the WinFormsShowcase sample but then it only displayed on the second control.

But if it IS possible, then I also want to know. Will implement it in DarkEngine

Thanks for the reponse kBessa

Yeah, That's the result I got also. Was hoping there was a command I missed like: SetActiveDisplay

Well, maybe someone else knows of a way.

Use multiple cameras perhaps?

Also, my website has no content. But it looks perty

Multiple Cameras was my first thought, but if I got it right, what tschwarz wants to do is to display different contents on different PictureBox controls.

By using multiple cameras is one possibility, but it wouldn't show as he wanted.

Edit: Sorry multiple cameras wouldn't work, need multiple viewports.

Because DBP and DGDK render themselves into a single DX layer, the only way I know of for getting multiple viewports, is to implement your own Image paste to screen function. If you have an image that renders a camera viewport onto it, then using a BitBlt function or something from the image. Either via a Memblock or a formatted bitmap.

Every 1 second save the second cameras output to a file (image) and reload that into the second picture box
Use shorter time than 1 second if you wish, but dont use too short timer or you will probally get slowdowns.

Well, thats the only way i could think of.

Thanks for the responses, at least I know I'm not over looking a command. I'll work on doing an image paste to screen function.
