web control drawing tool

I can think of an option, but it may take a long time to build and possibly not suited to your situation, but anyway.... You could create a Windows Forms user control that handles all the hard work for you, like draw lines etc (can't really be done in HTML (that I know of)), then you can deploy this control through IE (as long as they have the runtime installed). See this for an example. Other options could be flash, Java Applet, Active X control or there could possibly be some tricks with DHTML and Javascript that might work, but I think that would be a lot of work. Sorry, not really any actual examples but a few things for you to think about anyway.
