I know this is not strictly a VB6 question but it does relate to a lot of
graphic questions that have been asked and answered here lately so it is
sort of partly on topic ;-) Does anybody know if GDI32 hardware
acceleration is back in Windows 7 or if it is still disabled as is the case
on virtually all Vista installations?

Mr. Williams:

Per here:

says it is.

Actually I posted that question without first doing any kind of checking
myself (a bit "off the cuff" really and quite "naughty"!) and after
rummaging around in Google (something I should have done before posting the
question!) it would appear that the answer is "Yes and No" ;-)

It seems that in Windows 7 at least some GDI functions are now hardware
accelerated again (although I'm not sure whether there are as many as there
were before) but that ATI and Nvidia have only recently released suitable
drivers which you would probably need to install if your system is not very
recent, and which may or may not yet be "up to scratch". I'd still like to
know if anyone can shed any more light on this one though?

No apologies necessary Mr. Williams.

Happens to the best -- or worse :>) -- of us.
