Get Microsoft Silverlight

Technical Notes

This application was originally created in Silverlight 2 and was later migrated to Silverlight 4 with no code changes. This is the reason that the font and sizes are picked from lists and not from drop-down lists, which were not available in Silverlight 2.

The application was created quickly to demonstrate how Silverlight could be used to create a rich UI for creating an online order. In this case you are selecting the size, colours and text for an imaginary printed banner.

Unfinished: No colour picker is available. No tooltips. No drop-down lists. The large buttons on the left are supposed to be toggle buttons with an up/down appearance. The app is a fixed-size window.
