I am trying to use the PDFsharp library in an XNA game. The example code I am trying to get to work is:
static void Main()
{
Renderer renderer = new Renderer();
PreviewForm form = new PreviewForm();
form.RenderEvent = new PagePreview.RenderEvent(renderer.Render);
Application.Run(form);
}
But I don't know how to get this to run in XNA.
Is it possible to pass the graphics that are passed to the winform to the XNA graphics engine instead?
The First thing you need to do is to create the login form. in this form create the fields you need as public properties
public string userName {get;set;}
public string password {get;set;}
in the login form you need to write the user info to those properties:
private void btnOk_Click(object sender,EventArgs e)
{
this.userName = txtName.Text;
this.password = txtPass.Text;
this.Close();
}
then, in the game (in the part you need) write something like this:
using (var form = new frmLogin())
{
var result = form.ShowDialog();
if (result == DialogResult.OK)
{
string user = form.userName;
string pass = form.password;
}
}
But as an FYI - winforms don't look so good in XNA Hope it helps
It appears that the original links to MSDN have been broken, I can't seem to find them on MSDN anymore, if someone does, please update the post. In the mean time you may want to check out this codeproject article -- http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/21330/Easy-Rendering-with-XNA-Inside-a-Windows-Form
update after a quick check, looks like the first link at (See also: XNA and WinForms) is the same one I found.
I recommend you look into mixing winforms and XNA, try this: http://create.msdn.com/en-US/education/catalog/sample/winforms_series_1
