Once have enabled Direct2D support in an MFC application, there is no sweat to load an image from a file, by using one of CD2DBitmap constructors. Unfortunately, we cannot find a CD2DBitmap method to save it into a image file (something similar to CImage::Save or Gdiplus::Image::Save). No problem, we can try to do it ourselves. […]
We can combine two or more images and/or effects by using the composite effect. Here is an example. Drawing shadows using Direct2D composite effects

There are two ways to combine Direct2D with Windows GDI API in the same application: Drawing Direct2D content to a GDI device context Drawing GDI content to a Direct2D GDI-compatible render target Let’s see each one! Drawing Direct2D content to a GDI device context For this purpose, use ID2D1DCRenderTarget instead of ID2D1HwndRenderTarget interface. If using MFC […]
Direct2D has built-in support for image processing like changing brightness or contrast, blurring, creating drop shadows, and so on. Basically, we can use for this purpose the CreateEffect and DrawImage methods of ID2D1DeviceContext interface. So far, there is no MFC wrapper class for ID2D1DeviceContext but that’s not so big issue. Once having a valid ID2D1RenderTarget […]
As shown in previous articles, we can enable MFC Direct2D support for a window by a call of CWnd::EnableD2DSupport. Example:

int CSlideShowWnd::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct) { if (CWnd::OnCreate(lpCreateStruct) == -1) return -1; // Enable MFC Direct2D support EnableD2DSupport(); // ... return 0; } |
So far so good as long as all windows which use Direct2D are running in the same thread (usually the application main thread). But let’s say we have more than one window with intensive […]
A previous article shows how to use D2D MFC classes for easily make a simple image viewer. As said there, it can be made even easier. Enabling D2D support in MFC In the WM_CREATE message handler call CWnd::EnableD2DSupport.

int CDemoView::OnCreate(LPCREATESTRUCT lpCreateStruct) { if (CScrollView::OnCreate(lpCreateStruct) == -1) return -1; EnableD2DSupport(); // Enable D2D support for this window: return 0; } |
In the overridden CView::OnUpdate load the bitmap from the current document’s file.

A few time ago, I begun writing a series of wrapper classes to make easier the using of Direct2D interfaces. Meanwhile, I discovered that MFC Library, beginning with Visual Studio 2010 SP1, offers an excelent built-in support. That’s pretty cool! So, let’s use Direct2D (D2D) MFC classes for making a simple image viewer. Image viewer […]
