• A WinForms control that supports drawing with Direct2D thanks to WicNet.
• This control has been used in ImageGlass software since version 9.0.

• Nuget package: https://www.nuget.org/packages/D2Phap.DXControl
• Project url: https://github.com/d2phap/DXControl
• About: https://imageglass.org/about

• High performance drawing using Direct2D.
• Names and types are exactly the same as the native concepts of Direct2D (interfaces, enums, structures, constants, methods, arguments, guids, etc...). So you can read the official documentation, use existing C/C++ samples, and start coding with .NET right away.
• All native COM interfaces are generated as .NET (COM) interfaces, this makes .NET programming easier, but they are not strictly needed.
• Option to use Software or Hardware render target
• Supports animation drawing with Direct2D.

• .NET 8.0, 9.0

Run the command

Install-Package D2Phap.DXControl

Draws a rectangle, then moves it to the right side.

using D2Phap.DXControl; // create a WinForms custom control that extends from DXCanvas public class DemoCanvas : DXCanvas { private RectangleF animatableRectangle = new(100, 100, 400, 200); public DemoCanvas() { EnableAnimation = true; UseHardwareAcceleration = true; } protected override void OnRender(DXGraphics g) { // draw a yellow rectangle with green border g.FillRectangle(rectText, Color.FromArgb(100, Yellow)); g.DrawRectangle(rectText, Color.Green); } // Update frame logics for animation protected override void OnFrame(FrameEventArgs e) { // animate the rectangle to the right animatableRectangle.left++; } }
