Is Double-buffering required with Desktop Composition enabled?

问题 Is double-buffering still required when Desktop Composition is enabled? In Microsoft's Application Compatibility Guide: Graphical Device Interface (GDI) Prior to Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, a window handle (HWND) was painted directly to the screen, which had certain benefits, but limited how Windows could display and manage top-level windows. In Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, all top-level windows are rendered to an off-screen bitmap (similar to WS_EX_LAYERED), and the

问题 Is it possible for a Swing based Java to have the Aero Glass effect as the background under Windows Vista/7? 回答1: I know it is possible, as it was achieved by the person who asked this question. I am currently researching the same thing and will post here if I find out how. 回答2: As of Java SE 6 Swing's native look and feel for windows uses Aero. There's a blog post with a lot of details about this from Chet Haase entitled Java on Vista : Yes it works 回答3: It does already. alt text http:/

Custom-shaped Aero glass window with WPF

为君一笑 提交于 2019-12-22 11:37:08
问题 Is it possible to design a window in WPF that would allow an inner image to go over the borders of the aeroglass window? An example of this is the Start Menu in Windows 7: On this image the user icon is not within the borders of the aeroglass start menu window, but overlaps it. How did MS achieve this? My guess: those are two separate windows, stacked on top of one another? 回答1: What you are trying to do is described in this article: http://cornucopia30.blogspot.com/2007/07/wpf-non

问题 I have looked everywhere to see how to use Aero in my program. I fail to find any C function that previews the windows behind your own, like File Explorer or any mainstream browser does on their title bars. Some programs fake it by just adding an image that looks like the Windows 7 title bar -- without Aero -- but I consider it kind of cheating. I found this code on the link below: [DllImport ("dwmapi.dll" Entry Point = "# 113", SetLastError = true)] internal static external

Combining Aero Glass effects and SWT

问题 As a pet project, I've been playing with the concept of integrating Aero Glass effects into my SWT application. Łukasz Milewski has an excellent blog post explaining how this can be accomplished, which pretty much boils down to this: final Display display = new Display(); final Shell shell = new Shell(display); shell.setLayout(new FormLayout()); final MARGINS margins = new MARGINS(); margins.cyTopHeight = -1; final Composite c = new Composite(shell, SWT.NORMAL); c.setBackground(new Color

Custom draw Aero title bar without extending into client area

问题 My WinForms application has the standard Aero glass appearance on Vista/Windows 7. I want to custom draw the window title bar so it retains the Aero glass appearance with the glass min/max/close buttons but without the title text and window icon. I have tried this by overriding WM_NCPAINT but overriding this event always causes the glass to be removed. Does anyone know how to override WM_NCPAINT with glass in place in order to effectively draw over the glass area correctly? 回答1: I don't have

There are no

What is the API to “create applications like Flip3D”

☆樱花仙子☆ 提交于 2019-12-19 06:18:32
问题 I am trying to figure out how to use DWM to render a copy of a Window into my own desired location. The only thing I can find to tell DWM to render somewhere is with the thumbnail APIs. But MSDN's DWM Thumbnail Overview they specifically warn me off: Note DWM thumbnails do not enable developers to create applications like the Windows Vista Flip3D (WINKEY-TAB) feature. Thumbnails are rendered directly to the destination window in 2-D. I am told that the thumbnailing api cannot be used to
