I have posted a Direct2D render for Markup here http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15926.

I think it's important for codejock to bring more customers even if a few will no longer make upgrades, it's better to lose 1 customer and win 10 new.]]> Sun, 23 Nov 2008 11:57:10 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12642&PID=43125&title=direct2d#43125 <![CDATA[Direct2D : Precisely!

Precisely!
MANY our customers run our applications using WINE, or Parallels (on Mac). For them, all that new things just cause compatiblity problems. As far as I am concerned, I will stop buying upgrades to XTP once Codejock starts making library incompatible with older windows/WINE/Parallels. MFC may be old but it is working, fast and compatible with everything. If somebody loves all newest and slow stuff, just use this bloated .NET.

I'd have to agree - it would be nice to specify the graphics engine. I'd like to be able to use AGG2D for example.

One thing worth noting with GDI+ - you will disappoint clients who run your software on Linux using WINE. The WINE project has not ported GDI+ - indeed is unlikely to do so as GDI+ is sort of an evolutionary dead end.

Hello Oleg,

CXTPMarkupDeviceContext is tightly bound to MFC/GDI (HDC, CRect, etc.), so it is not an abstract interface.

CXTPMarkupGdiPlusDeviceContext is derived from CXTPMarkupDeviceContext.

CXTPMarkupDrawingContext uses either CXTPMarkupDeviceContext or CXTPMarkupGdiPlusDeviceContext, but is itself bound to a HDC, so not yet ready for Direct2D.

There is only a #define _XTP_EXCLUDE_GDIPLUS to decide at compile time if we want GDI or GDI+, that should be setable at runtime. What if I want GDI+ only for a single control but not for an other? There should be a default renderer as well as the option to set any renderer for any markup.

CXTPMarkup::SetDefaultRenderer(...);
pMarkup->SetRenderer(...);

Actually its how it works now:
 
void CXTPMarkupDrawingContext::DrawTextLine(LPCWSTR lpszText, UINT nCount, LPCRECT lpRect)
{
 m_pDeviceContext->DrawString(lpszText, nCount, lpRect);
}
and there is CXTPMarkupDeviceContext + CXTPMarkupGdiPlusDeviceContext.

Exactly

Currently the control logic, rendering and theming are not well separated.

If the code would be separated well it would just be a matter of a new graphic backend to port the markup rendering to a new platform like Android or the iPhone. Instead Codejock tightly binds its business modell to aging technologies like MFC and ActiveX while not being able to deliver WinForms and WPF controls + new emerging platforms. Heck, not even a CE / Windows mobile version of the toolkit. Instead they conjure up excuses why they can't adopt new technologies like Direct2D.

Watch the PDC presentation.

Better quality and speed, text rotation with DirectWrite etc.

While I agree that the performance of most of the controls is ok markup rendering with GDI+ suffers from the lack of performance of GDI+ software rendering. Direct2D is about 4 times faster than GDI+, so any charts etc. based on markup rendering will be significantly faster.

Because we MUST support this.

Direct2D will be Vista/Win7 and maybe XP only. So under Win98 you'll have to fallback to GDI drawing.
