End Google Ads 201810 - BS.net 01 --> Hi I'm new to C# and graphics programming so I hope you can bear with me.
We developed an application for winxp(embedded) and we added usercontrol 3D buttons in it.
I used blending and linear gradient functions instead of displaying a bitmap file.
The performance was ok when run from our workstation but it was
poorly responding when tested on the actual unit, probably because of low video
acceleration, the previous system used LabView graphics and it was doing fine with
the same 3d look. There are screens that display about 20 buttons at once.
I tried enabling double buffering but it did not change anything. Please help.
My questions are:
1. Is there any other way to create 3d buttons?
2. Would creating Direct3d usercontrol for the buttons be faster?

Thanks for your time.
