Remarks
The static WindowsFormsSettings.ForceDirectXPaint method does not affect Picture Edits. To enable the DirectX Hardware accelleration for required Picture Edit controls, you need to manually enable their UseDirectXPaint properties.
The DirectX engine allows you to improve the scrolling and resizing performance for PictureEdits that contain huge images.
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.
