draw Windows.Forms components to surface

Hello,

is there a way to draw Windows.Forms components into a specified surface (a
D3DSurface for example)? i want to fill a texture with the graphics and
render it to the screen.
it looks like it's hard to pass the Graphics object throught the component
hierarchy because no public method takes an PaintEventArgs object or
Graphics object. Invalidate, Repaint and so on all seem to get their
Graphics object from nowhere (ok, after reading a bit it seems like they
get them from Win32 direcly, so i guess their "surface" is the screen).

I found the WM_PRINT message that seems to make what i need but couldn't
find an equal function in Windows.Forms.( ?) or maybe there is another way
that allows me to draw the components to my Graphics object ?

or do i need to build up my own gui ?
regards,
Jan Kopcsek

Hello, I have a form in which I draw a grid in the paint event. Works fine, except when using the scrollbars. Autoscroll is switched on, I use doublebuffering and userpaint and AllPaintingInWmPaint are true. When using the scrollbars sometimes some lines are not drawn or drawn twice. The gridlines distort in the scrolled region. As far as I can tell the clipregion is the whole window, so that can't be it. Besides, it only goes wrong when...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
