Constructors

GraphicsDeviceControl

Initializes a new instance of the GraphicsDeviceControl class

Properties

AlwaysEnableKeyboardInput	If enabled the Keyboard input will work even if the current control has no focus (mouse cursor is outside of the control).
BackColor	Set the background color of this Control in the designer.
Components	Get the GameComponentCollection.
ForeColor	Set the foreground color of this Control in the designer.
GraphicsProfile	Set the GraphicsProfile in the property grid during Design-Time (HiDef or Reach). You shouldn't change this during runtime!
IsMouseInsideControl	Returns true when the mouse cursor is inside the control.
Services	Get the GameServiceContainer.
SwapChainRenderTarget	A swap chain used for rendering to a secondary GameWindow. Note: When working with different RenderTarget2D, you need to set the current render target back to the SwapChainRenderTarget as this is the real 'Back Buffer'. 'GraphicsDevice.SetRenderTarget(null)' will NOT work as you are doing usally in MonoGame. Instead use 'GraphicsDevice.SetRenderTarget(SwapChainRenderTarget)'. Otherwise you will see only a black control window.

Methods

Dispose	Releases the unmanaged resources used by the GraphicsDeviceControl and optionally releases the managed resources (Overrides Control.Dispose(Boolean))
IsMouseInsideControlArea	Returns true when the mouse cursor is inside the specific area.
OnClientSizeChanged	(Overrides Control.OnClientSizeChanged(EventArgs))
OnCreateControl	(Overrides Control.OnCreateControl())
OnMouseEnter	(Overrides Control.OnMouseEnter(EventArgs))
OnMouseLeave	(Overrides Control.OnMouseLeave(EventArgs))
OnMouseWheel	(Overrides Control.OnMouseWheel(MouseEventArgs))
OnPaint	(Overrides Control.OnPaint(PaintEventArgs))
OnPaintBackground	(Overrides Control.OnPaintBackground(PaintEventArgs))
PaintUsingSystemDrawing
SetMultiSampleCount	Set the "MultiSampleCount" for Multi Sampled AntiAlising (MSAA). The input value will be automatically clamped to the nearest power of two in relation of what the users GraphicsDevice can handle.

Events
