In my Windows forms application I'm using GetLocationFromViewPoint method to get the coordinates when drawing a rectangle on the Pdf file.Again when I'm loading the same Pdf I need to draw the rectangle using the coordinates defined in the earlier case. But when drawing the rectangle the Y coordinate is incorrrectly drawn. The problem here is I'm using the RadFixedPageElement positions for the GetLocationFromViewPoint method and Now I need to get the RadPdfViewerElement coordinates to draw the rectangle in correct position. Is there any way to get this done ? Please help.

Hello Shashika,

Thank you for writing.

I am not exactly sure how you are using the GetLocationFromViewPoint method. I am assuming, however, that you might be missing adjusting the positions with the scroll offset. Please check my code snippet below showing how this adjustment can be performed so that you receive the correct coordinates with respect to the clicked page: 
GetLocationFromViewPoint
I am also attaching a short video showing the result on my end.

I hope this helps. Should you have further questions please do not hesitate to write back.

Hi Hristo,

Thank you for reply me back. I'm using GetLocationFromViewPoint method in MouseDown and MouseUp events to draw rectangles on a Pdf file. Then I'm saving those coordinates in a separate file. When I' m redrawing the rectangle again on the same Pdf it it not correctly drawing on the locations it draws earlier. I assume it is because of the gap between the RadPdfViewerElement and the RadFixedPageElement. I need to to get the extract position to draw the rectangle in correct position.

Here is my code I'm using to get the coordinates in MouseUp and MouseDown events.

private void radPdfVwr_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            if ((radPdfVwr.ElementTree.GetElementAtPoint(((MouseEventArgs)e).Location)).GetType().Name == typeof(RadFixedPageElement).Name)
            {
                if (isMouseDwnClked == true)
                    return;

                currentPos = startPos = e.Location;
                drawing = true;

                Point currentPos1 = new Point(e.X, e.Y);
                currentPos1 = new Point(currentPos.X + this.radPdfVwr.PdfViewerElement.HScrollBar.Value, currentPos.Y + this.radPdfVwr.PdfViewerElement.VScrollBar.Value);

                Graphics formGraphics = this.CreateGraphics();

                Telerik.Windows.Pdf.Documents.Fixed.Model.RadFixedPage page;
                this.radPdfVwr.PdfViewerElement.GetLocationFromViewPoint(currentPos1, out page, out down);

                _top = Math.Round(((down.Y / formGraphics.DpiY) * 25.4), 2);
                _left = Math.Round(((down.X / formGraphics.DpiX) * 25.4), 2);

    }

}

private void radPdfVwr_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            if ((radPdfVwr.ElementTree.GetElementAtPoint(((MouseEventArgs)e).Location)) != null)
            {
                if ((radPdfVwr.ElementTree.GetElementAtPoint(((MouseEventArgs)e).Location)).GetType().Name == typeof(RadFixedPageElement).Name)
                {
                    if (isMouseUpClked == true && rectanglesList.Count > 0)
                        return;

                    if (drawing)
                    {
                        drawing = false;
                        var rc = GetRectangle();
                        if (rc.Width > 0 && rc.Height > 0)
                            rectanglesList.Add(rc);

                        radPdfVwr.Invalidate();
                    }

                    Point currentPos = new Point(e.X, e.Y);
                    currentPos = new Point(currentPos.X + this.radPdfVwr.PdfViewerElement.HScrollBar.Value, currentPos.Y + this.radPdfVwr.PdfViewerElement.VScrollBar.Value);

                    Graphics formGraphics = this.CreateGraphics();
                    Telerik.Windows.Pdf.Documents.Fixed.Model.RadFixedPage page;

                    Point pointLoc;
                    Point x;

                    this.radPdfVwr.PdfViewerElement.GetLocationFromViewPoint(currentPos, out page, out pointLoc);

                    _height = Math.Round((((pointLoc.Y - down.Y) / formGraphics.DpiY) * 25.4), 2);
                    _width = Math.Round((((pointLoc.X - down.X) / formGraphics.DpiX) * 25.4), 2);

}

}

Hello Shashika,

Thank you for writing back.

Please bear in mind that the GetLocationFromViewPoint returns boolean and it may not always extract the page and location within the page, for example, if you pass wrong source view-point. In order to extract the correct clicked location on a page, please consider using the snippet I sent you. It takes into consideration the applied horizontal and vertical scrollbar values. Since you are caching these coordinates please also consider saving the applied zoom by caching the ScaleFactor property.

I hope this information was useful. Should you have further questions please do not hesitate to write back.
