Microsoft DirectX User Interface

LANSA Version 13 SP2

Microsoft DirectX User Interface


Visual LANSA version 13.0 introduces the DirectX rendering engine. DirectX is a collection of APIs embedded in to Windows that provide superior graphics capabilities, opening the door to a world of new design possibilities.

 

To see examples of what can be done with DirectX run the DirectX Demonstration Application.

With the new Visual LANSA user-designed controls, the developer has almost complete control over the user interface. For example:

·        There are gradient colors, rounded corners, transparency and opacity.

·        Dynamic styles and mouse events make it possible for the user interface to react as the mouse enters, hovers over or leaves a control.

·        Context menus can be much more than just menus and animations allow for developers to add valuable visual feedback for the user.
