Hello

I want to draw some text with alpha blending effect on a image

I find this API on the web (http://xrossone.com/projects.php?menu=2)

it seems very good and it is an open source project but may be someone know
another API to compare ??

moreover, do you know the evolution of .NET 2.0 and Windows Mobile 2005 on
this aspect ? perhaps, xrossonewill be depracated with these new plateform
and framework

thanks a lot for your help
 
..NETCF 2.0 contains improvements to the drawing APIs, however you won't see
much change in areas such as alpha blending etc as this is not natively
supported on the platform. One of the main differences is that drawing
objects offer access to their native handles to make interoperability
easier, also a key requested feature of the ability to save images to file.
Windows Mobile 5.0 offers a new managed Direct3D which allows you to do some
incredible stuff, only on devices with suitable graphics hardware, this
works on top of .NETCF 2.0 but is not an integral part of the compact
framework v2.0 itself. Casey has a cool article online discussing managed
Direct3D here - http://www.brains-n-brawn.com/default.aspx?vDir=cfmdx
For complex 2D work I've not seen anything which matches the XrossOne
library, I'm sure it will still be a valuable tool with .NETCF 2.0.

Thanks a lot for your response, peter

I took some time to look in the source code and I think it is very big and
good library, just a little bit slowly but for static image, it is very easy
to draw in tmp bitmap before plug in it in Picture box.

thank for the author
