Public Property UseDirectXPaint As DefaultBoolean

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:

The value is specified by a global option or a higher-level object.

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.
