XtraSplashScreen with SVG image

created 6 years ago

Dear DevEx-team,

currently I use an XtraSplashScreen with ShowMode = Form and a PictureBox on it with its Image property set to a png raster image.

For providing "real" DPI-awareness in our application I want now to use an SVG image instead of the raster image.
Because I couldn't find a property like "SVGImage" for the XtraSplashScreen I think I have to go the way described here
and provide a rendered SVG image on a PictureEdit.

Or is there a simpler way like just assigning an SVG image to the XtraSplashScreen.Image property with ShowMode = Image ?

Best regards
Harald

Hello,
As you mentioned, you are using the standard PictureBox  control. You can replace this control with our PictureEdit control. This control supports SVG images out of the box. You can set the desired image by using the SvgImage property. This property sets the vector image displayed by the editor. Please test this approach and let me know if it's applicable in your scenario.

      Hi Dmitry,

      Is there any way to provide an SvgImage for the SplashScreen.SplashImage when the SplashScreen.ShowMode is set to Image?

      Thanks!

        Hi Alex,
        Thank you for contacting us.
        Currently, the SplashScreen.SplashImage property doesn't support SVG images. However, we agree that this functionality can be very helpful in scenarios like yours. So, I created the SplashScreen - The SplashImage property doesn't support the use of SVG images ticket and passed it to our developers for further research. You will get a notification when we get any progress.
        Meanwhile, you can use Dmitry's solution or use the SplashScreenManager.ShowImage method.
