[Mono-winforms-list] Howto mix WinForms and Cairo?

System.Windows.Forms is not using Cairo directly. It uses System.Drawing
that uses GDI+ on Windows and libgdiplus on all other platform. libgdiplus
uses Cairo as well as other components. So System.Windows.Forms is far from
Cairo.

I don't think you can manage to manipulate System.Drawing objects using
Cairo and I don't recommend to do so. Use System.Drawing to draw on Forms.

Mono.Cairo and System.Windows.Forms cannot interact so you can't use Cairo
to draw to a Form but you can use Cairo for anything it supports.

Hi there,

I am trying to mix Cairo and WinForms, however I don't get it ;-)
Is this possible at all? A very basic example would be enough.

Thank you in advance, lg Clemens
