Why not 'UseGDIPlus'?

I see the point in enabling GDI+ but have it disabled. What does the framework rely on without GDI+?

Thanks

Regular old GDI. GDI+ is available on Windows XP and newer and GDI has been deprecated. I generally set this property to True unless I have a specific reason not to.

Can apps run on older versions of Windows. With GDI+ enabled. According to Wikipedia, applications can be bundled with GDI+. Does Xojo do this?

Xojo doesn’t bundle GDI+ (as far as I know, anyway.) Versions of Windows older than XP are not supported by Xojo, however I think webapps and console apps will run on Windows 2000 too. A desktop app might run on Windows 2000 if the GDI+ redistributable DLL is installed in your app’s directory.

Thanks. If and when I find it is worth my time, I shall test it out and see how well it works.
