Remarks

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 UseSystemFont 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 AutoScaleMode property is set to Font, 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.

Note
If you set UseSystemFont to , it is strongly recommended you test your application with various different font and DPI settings.

To use glass with your form, use the GlassMargin property. You can also specify whether it's possible to drag the form by its glass areas using the AllowGlassDragging property. Glass requires Windows Vista with the Desktop Window Manager enabled. The glass related properties have no effect on other operating systems.

Note
Many Windows Forms controls will not display correctly when placed over a glass area. Use the DrawCompositedText(IDeviceContext, String, Font, Rectangle, Padding, Color, Int32, TextFormatFlags) 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.

Thread Safety

Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
