VelloSharp.Integration.WinForms

VelloSharp.Integration.WinForms enables Windows Forms applications to host Vello-powered rendering using familiar control patterns.

Getting Started​

  1. Install with dotnet add package VelloSharp.Integration.WinForms.
  2. Import using VelloSharp.Integration.WinForms; in your WinForms project.
  3. Place the provided control wrappers on your form and connect them to scenes produced through VelloSharp or the charting components.
  4. Handle resize and invalidate events using the helper methods supplied in the package to keep frame presentation smooth.

Usage Example​

using System.Windows.Forms;
using VelloSharp.WinForms.Integration;

var control = new VelloRenderControl { Dock = DockStyle.Fill };
control.PaintSurface += (_, e) =>
{
    // Build your scene with e.Session.Scene and render via e.Session.Renderer.
};

var form = new Form { Text = "VelloSharp WinForms" };
form.Controls.Add(control);
Application.Run(form);

Next Steps​

  • Inspect the API reference for the control surface APIs and lifecycle callbacks.
  • Review the WinForms samples to observe multithreading considerations and device sharing strategies.
