<DXCategory("Appearance")>
<DefaultValue(DefaultBoolean.Default)>
Public Property UseDirectXPaint As DefaultBoolean

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
DefaultBoolean	**Default**	A DefaultBoolean enumerator value that specifies whether or not this control employs the DirectX Hardware Acceleration. The DefaultBoolean.Default value is equivalent to DefaultBoolean.True if the static WindowsFormsSettings.ForceDirectXPaint method was called, or to DefaultBoolean.False otherwise.

Available values:

Name	Description
True	Corresponds to a Boolean value of true.
False	Corresponds to a Boolean value of false.
Default	The value is determined by the current object’s parent object setting (e.g., a control setting).

Remarks

To use DirectX rendering for the Accordion Control, set the UseDirectXPaint property to Default or True and do one of the following:

• Call the WindowsFormsSettings.ForceDirectXPaint method at the application startup.

• Place the Accordion Control on a form with the Acrylic effect enabled.

  The Acrylic effect is supported by the FluentDesignForm (see FluentDesignForm.EnableAcrylicAccent) and XtraForm descendants (see XtraForm.EnableAcrylicAccent).

Note

Only modify the UseDirectXPaint setting before the control’s handle is created. For instance, you can do this at design time, or in the form’s constructor.
