Property Value

Type	Default	Description
DefaultBoolean	Default	A DefaultBoolean enumeration value that specifies whether or not the calendar employs the DirectX rendering. The DefaultBoolean.Default value is equivalent to DefaultBoolean.False.

Available values:

Name	Description
True	true. DefaultBoolean.True has a constant value of 0, while the standard true value corresponds to a value of 1. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.
False	false. DefaultBoolean.False has a constant value of 1, while the standard false value corresponds to a value of 0. In Visual Basic, do not use implicit conversion of Boolean values to DefaultBoolean, and vice versa, as the conversion may produce incorrect results.
Default	The default behavior determined by the control’s logic.

Remarks

To use the DirectX rendering for the Calendar Control, set the UseDirectXPaint property to True and call the WindowsFormsSettings.ForceDirectXPaint method at the application’s startup.

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.
