Hi All Thanks for the reply. Here are couple of things i should have mentioned earlier to you guys. I have to allow user to resize the images, that's where complexity came. For resizing of images, I am using the following container for holding the images http://www.rogue-development.com/objectHandles.html
I am trying to achieve something like this http://demo.quietlyscheming.com/DragTile/DragDrop.html but letting user drag images from the bottom container (in this example's case VBOX) to the main container and also allowing then to resize the images in the main container. If i am not allowing user to resize the image in the main container, then this project is already done but the real estate occupied by the images vary with the resizing option. The user drag and drop or can also double click on the image to open in the main container. In all the cases the image should be dropped in the empty space of the main container. The main container allows the user to grab the image from any of the four corner(like the component in the first link) and resize up to some size and the rest of the images adjust accordingly to let the resized image get accommodated in the main container(something like in the second link except in that link user can't resize the image). Sorry for being so complex but that's the project's requirement. In short this project is like image gallery,the user can drag and drop or double click on images to open them in the main container . They can also resize the images in the main container and the rest of the images should move (with transition) to let resized or newly created images to get accommodated. Please let me know if that helps and I will appreciate any more help in this matter Thanks a lot.
