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

Nuget

• 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++;
 }
}
