Namespace: DevExpress.XtraEditors
Assembly: DevExpress.XtraEditors.v18.2.dll
Declaration
[DXCategory("Appearance")]
[DefaultValue(DefaultBoolean.Default)]
public DefaultBoolean UseDirectXPaint { get; set; }Property Value
| Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| DefaultBoolean | **Default** | A DefaultBoolean enumeration value that specifies whether or not this PictureEdit uses the DirectX Hardware Acceleration. The DefaultBoolean.Default value is equivalent to DefaultBoolean.False. |
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 enable the DirectX rendering for a PictureEdit control, set the control’s UseDirectXPaint property to DefaultBoolean.True and call the static WindowsFormsSettings.ForceDirectXPaint method on application startup. 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.
