Namespace: DevExpress.XtraDiagram
Assembly: DevExpress.XtraDiagram.v20.2.dll
NuGet Package: DevExpress.Win.Diagram
Declaration
[DefaultValue(DefaultBoolean.Default)]
[DXCategory("Appearance")]
public DefaultBoolean UseDirectXPaint { get; set; }Property Value
| Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| DefaultBoolean | **Default** | A DefaultBoolean enumerator value that specifies whether 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
DirectX hardware acceleration is enabled for the DiagramControl automatically if you call the WindowsFormsSettings.ForceDirectXPaint method at the application’s startup or have DirectX enabled in the DevExpress Project Settings window. Use the UseDirectXPaint property to override this behavior.
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.
