Name | Description |
---|---|
rmDefault
|
The default render mode is enabled for a DevExpress control.
|
rmGDI
|
The default and fallback option available for all DevExpress controls. The In GDI render mode, a DevExpress control uses a rendering technique compatible with the standard draw routines found in the VCL library. To draw content and UI elements, a control uses a combination of GDI and GDI+ API-based canvases. |
rmDirectX
|
The A supported control uses a Direct2D-based canvas instead of a GDI-based canvas. An opaque Direct3D device context overlaps an existing GDI canvas, and the control’s Transparent property has no effect.
|
rmGDIPlus
|
The In this mode, a supported control uses only GDI+ API-based canvases instead of a combination of GDI and GDI+ API-based canvases to draw semitransparent shapes. Unlike the basic GDI render mode, controls can also apply the antialiasing effect to geometric primitives.
