As a reminder, the framework's graphics engine handles all aspects of application display and end-user interaction. It's an important element of the framework and determines both performance and display quality. Version 2025 now uses the processing power of the graphics card. Today, this type of processing is far more powerful than the main CPU. It also frees up valuable CPU resources. This technology is based on Direct2D. All the windows of your applications now load faster. Benefit of this new feature in version 2025: Task sharing 211 N e w f e a t u r e W D W B WM NO MORE GDI HANDLES: FREE UP WINDOWS RESOURCES Another major new feature of the graphics engine version 2025 is the ability to no longer use handles to manage controls.
