Re: Draw an Image on my Form

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

yes. you can draw it in a sprite

you might be better off creating your own grid as say a user control and drawing the bitmaps and grid yourself.

email me at ski99@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx if ya need help workin out sprites.

You wont be able to do this with the standard datagrid, I think you will
need to find a third party grid that supports drawing an image in each


cell

and then keeps that on its backbuffer and doesnt render the image with 

each

paint, or find an open source grid and modify for you needs.

Hi,

I have an inherited DataGrid, that does lots of extra stuff. For exemple
drawing a backgroundimage in every cell. The problem is that it's taking
too
much time (using gdi+), so I want to do it using DirectX. I downloaded
already the DSK etc, but I can't find how I need to draw an image on a
given
position. I don't need stuff to write advanced 3D-games, just painting
that
image. Can anybody help me with this? I'm already looking for this the
whole
afternoon :-/

I learned already that I shouldn't use DirectDraw (not supported 

anymore)

but Direct3D? But that's really all I know yet.

Basicly I jsut need to be able to draw an imahe (jpg, bitmap) on a Form 

in

VB.NET: as simple and as fast as possible.. :-)

Thanks a lot in advance,

Pieter
