Syntax

object

A SftTabs object.

Boolean

Defines whether the pre-6.0 rendering (painting) method of the control is used.

Boolean	Description
True	The control is rendered (painted) using the same painting algorithm used in prior releases.
False	The control is rendered using the new painting algorithm introduced with SftTabs/OCX 6.5. While the new algorithm is designed to be fully compatible with earlier releases, if any incompatibilities are found, an application can revert to the old rendering using this property.

Comments

The _CompatibleRendering property defines whether the pre-6.0 rendering (painting) method of the control is used.

While older releases of the product attempted to balance performance, resource usage and repainting speed, occasionally causing slight flickering, the new painting algorithm uses double-buffering. Double-buffering results in perfectly flicker-free repainting, at the expense of higher memory usage and CPU usage.
