Gets or sets a flag indicating if a message box is shown to the user, once the rendering driver falls back to GDI; default: true

[ILNumerics Core Module]

Namespace:  ILNumerics
Assembly:  ILNumerics.Core (in ILNumerics.Core.dll) Version: 5.5.0.0 (5.5.7503.3146)
Syntax
Copy
public static bool ShowMessageBoxOnGDIFallback { get; set; }

Property Value

Type: Boolean
Remarks

If at runtime unrecoverable errors prevent the driver from rendering successfully, a message box will inform the user about the issue before the driver falls backt to GDI rendering. Setting this flag to false prevents the message box from showing.

Potential problems with accelerated drivers commonly include:

  • Outdated drivers: for OpenGL GPU rendering, currently OpenGL version 3.1 or higher is required.
  • Buggy drivers: especially 'first day support' drivers often show bugs with newer OpenGL functionality
  • Deactivated drivers: mobile devices sometimes deactivate GPU rendering for energy savings
  • Virtual machines and remote desktop connections do often provide limited access to graphics hardware only. This may leads to OpenGL contexts of lower versions than neccessary and/or to the use of software implementations for OpenGL which may cause common problems with ILNumerics drawing controls.
