Error state Paused state Base class for windows forms with extended functionality. In order to use this class, create a new Form in Visual Studio, then modify the base class in the .cs (or in Visual Basic, the .Designer.vb) file for the form to this class. This class provides two main pieces of functionality: the ability to use the system font and the ability to use client area glass in Windows Vista. Windows Forms applications will normally always use MS Sans Serif 8pt, even when the system font is something else. For example, on Windows XP (English), the system font is Tahoma 8pt. On Windows XP Japanese, the system font is MS UI Gothic 8pt. On Windows Vista it is Segoe UI 9pt. By setting the property to for a form, that form will automatically use the proper system font. Because the font metrics of these different fonts can be vary greatly (especially on Vista which uses a larger font), please make sure the property is set to , and make special provisions for resizing graphics and other elements. Please note that some system fonts (such as MS UI Gothic) can also be smaller than MS Sans Serif which means the form will be scaled down, not up. If you set to , it is strongly recommended you test your application with various different font and DPI settings. To use glass with your form, use the property. You can also specify whether it's possible to drag the form by its glass areas using the property. Glass requires Windows Vista with the Desktop Window Manager enabled. The glass related properties have no effect on other operating systems. Many Windows Forms controls will not display correctly when placed over a glass area. Use the method to display text on a glass area. This class will automatically handle changes in the system font or DWM settings (including enabling/disabling of the DWM) while the application is running. Creates a new instance of the class.

Raised when Desktop Window Manager (DWM) composition has been enabled or disabled. This event is only raised on Windows Vista or later. Use the property to determine the current composition state. Gets or sets a value that indicates whether or not the form automatically uses the system default font. when the form's font is automatically adjusted to the system font; otherwise, . The default value is . This property has no effect at design time; the font settings will only be applied at run time. When this property is set to , the form will use the configured system font and font size automatically, e.g. it will use Segoe UI on Windows Vista and Tahoma on Windows XP. Please make sure the property is set to to account for the different metrics of the various fonts, and make special provisions to scale graphics and other element. Note that the system font can also be smaller than the font you used at design time, causing the form to be scaled down. For example the font MS Gothic UI, used on Japanese versions of Windows (pre-Vista), has smaller metrics than MS Sans Serif. It is strongly recommended to test your application with different font and DPI settings if you set this property to . Gets or sets the glass margins of the form. A that indicates the glass margins of the form. The default value is . Client-area glass requires Windows Vista or later with the Desktop Window Manager enabled. If the Desktop Window Manager is not enabled, or an older version of Windows is used, this property is ignored. Client-area glass extends the glass frame used by the Windows Vista Aero user interface into the client area of your window. Use negative margins to create the "sheet of glass" effect where the client area is rendered as a completely glass surface. Text rendered with the will not display correctly on the glass area (this includes text drawn by most controls). To draw text on the glass area, use . If the form is scaled, which can happen for instance if is , the glass margin will also be scaled. At design time, the glass area will be indicated by a pattern drawn onto the form. This pattern will not be visible at runtime regardless of whether the glass is enabled or not. Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the form can be dragged by the glass areas inside the client area. when the form can be dragged using the client area glass; otherwise, . The default value is . This property has no effect on operating systems older than Windows Vista, when the Desktop Window Manager is disabled or when the property is set to zero.

Gets or sets whether to use the application instance credential cache. when credentials are saved in the application instance cache; if they are not. The default value is . The application instance credential cache stores credentials in memory while an application is running. When the application exits, this cache is not persisted. When the property is set to , credentials that are confirmed with when the user checked the "save password" option will be stored in the application instance cache as well as the operating system credential store. When is called, and credentials for the specified are already present in the application instance cache, the dialog will not be shown and the cached credentials are returned, even if is . The application instance credential cache allows you to prevent prompting the user again for the lifetime of the application if the "save password" checkbox was checked, but when the application is restarted you can prompt again (initializing the dialog with the saved credentials). To get this behaviour, the property must be set to . Gets or sets whether the "save password" checkbox is checked. if the "save password" is checked; otherwise, . The default value is .
