drawstring antialiasing
|
im designing a simple auto-run type app with some buttons, and to minimize the code used to select the buttons, i draw in the strings on seperate controls (larger buttons) and for a simple version, it works fine. The problem however is that im making more of an editor for it so u can type in names of buttons, title, etc and itll autocreate an ini config file for it to load data from. In this, i load the buttons without textboxes so the user can type his/her message in, but the textboxes have more antialiased or smoother text, and it doesnt look exactly as the final product will look. Any way to change the smoothness on the e.graphics.drawstring("") text?
thx in advance

i tried changing the option of anti-alias, but maybe thats not exactly what i need, if u look at the images posted, even with AA on the text, it looks uncomparable to the text that was typed... The typed text simply looks much smoother. Any ideas how to fix this?
From left to right:
DrawString with AA on
DrawString with AA off
Typed String in Textbox on whatever it's default value is

SmoothingMode is only used for shapes and other non-text drawing. TextRenderingHint is used for text.
