# D2Phap.DXControl
- A WinForms control that supports drawing with Direct2D thanks to [WicNet](https://github.com/smourier/WicNet).
- This control has been used in [ImageGlass](https://github.com/d2phap/ImageGlass) software since version 9.0.
## Resource links
- Nuget package: [https://www.nuget.org/packages/D2Phap.DXControl](https://www.nuget.org/packages/D2Phap.DXControl)
- Project url: [https://github.com/d2phap/DXControl](https://github.com/d2phap/DXControl)
- About: [https://imageglass.org/about](https://imageglass.org/about)
## Features
- 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.
## Requirements:
- .NET 6.0, 7.0, 8.0
## Installation
Run the command
```bash
Install-Package D2Phap.DXControl
```
## Example
Draws a rectangle, then moves it to the right side.
```cs
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++;
}
}
```
