On-line Version


The off-line converter shown before was a code prototype.
From a design perspective one also needs to worry about what happens when
the user resizes the control. By default, a background image  will be of fixed size.
Docking the background image will keep a larger one in place, showing more or less as
a function of the size requested but the controls themselves still need to
be placed unto something, like a layout panel.

The on-line converter below will  not shrink smaller than the size of the browser on the bottom.
I have also placed the combo Boxes and buttons in a table, and they move as a block.

From a coding perspective, I have used the model from the You Tube tutorial cited
below.

One needs to be careful that the currencies requested will be recognized. Google
is the back-end here and a Canadian dollar is a CAD and a US dollar a USD etc...
