Public / Attributes

Application

[OwnerValue]
public attribute Application → (get,set)

value : IApplication

Context​Factory

public attribute ContextFactory → (get,set)

value : IGraphicsContextFactory

The graphics context factory.

The graphics context factory to use.

Setting the context factory to null will reset the application control (see ResetApplication).

Changing the context factory while an application is running will change the graphics context of the application (see IApplication.GraphicsContextDetach and IApplication.GraphicsContextAttach).

An implementing class may choose to accept only certain implementations of IGraphicsContextFactory. When it rejects an implementation, it must act as if null had been passed. See CheckContextFactory.
