Hi,

I need to build a testing scenario generator that will create binary
messages for an application we have built. The UI would look like a
movie editor in that it would have parallel timelines for the actions
of several people and several machines. The user would be able to
lay down action icons on the timelines to show what was going on at
any given time and specify the some properties of the action. At some
point the user could click <Make Scenario> and all the corresponding
input for testing would be generated.

What I'm wondering is anyone knows of some source code in C# for a
similar kind of editor that might serve as a starting point. Even a
custom timeline control that could be replicated would be a good help.

Thanks!

Hi Mark,

Based on my understanding, you want to make an application that allow user
to drag and set some point on the timeline, then finally generates some
binary message for the input operation. If I misunderstand you, please feel
free to point out.

.Net did build-in such specific control for this requirement, but I think
GDI+ may meet your need and .Net have good build-in for GDI+.

I think the key point of this issue is the algorithm and the model, which
should be decided by your design.

Once, you have built up the model, I think there should be not much
difficulty to work it out. If you have any details problem of implement it,
do tell me, I will work with you.

Also, let's wait for some community to see if there is already a known
issue to get this done.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation. If you have any questions or
concerns, please feel free to post it in the group. I am standing by to be
of assistance.

Hi Mark,

Does my reply make sense to you? Do you have any problem of create this
control yourself with GDI+? If you still did not find any similiar control
or did not figure it out how to make one yourself, please feel free to tell
me, I will work with you. Thanks
