EyeFinder 1.3+ using Outlook2007 rendering with Antialiased Headers

Sure enough - there was a slight change in the subs from 1.0 to 1.3. Anyway, attached is a very small custom renderer that will give you Anti-Aliased Text at the top of your NavigationPanes and at the top of your HeaderControls.

To use this, add the class found in the attached Zip file to your project. Next, place a NavigationContainer on your form (I'll call mine, NC.)

In your FormLoad event type in the following code:

NC.Renderer = New SmoothFontOffice2007

That's it.

 

 Enjoy!

*edit* There was a tiny error in the previous file that required an assignment when Option Strict was enabled.

This is what the form looks like just using the built-in renderer.

And here's what it looks like using the attached Rendering class.

Do you have ClearType disabled on your system, or something? The normal renderer shipped with Eyefinder 1.3 produces the correct, antialiased output for me.

It's probably that Office turns on ClearType locally even if your system has it turned off. As I mentioned in another post, the solution for this is to turn on ClearType in your renderer, not to create a path from the text and fill it.
