异步将WPF视觉呈现到位图

Question

I saw that the WinRT RenderTargetBitmap is able to render a Visual asynchronously via the "RenderAsync(visual);" method. Unfortunately the .net RendertargetBitmap does not have a RenderAsync method. Is there any workaround or entension for the .net RenderTargetBitmap to allow async rendering of WPF visuals? Thanks for help in advance!

I wrote a method to render a visual to bitmap via the BitBlt function. In heavy UIs like in my case this method is 20 times fastern than RenderTargetBitmap.

Here you go.

 public static class VisualRender
{
    [DllImport("user32.dll")]
    static extern bool SetWindowPos(IntPtr hWnd, IntPtr hWndInsertAfter, int x, int y, int cx, int cy, uint uFlags);

    static readonly IntPtr _HwndBottom = new IntPtr(1);
    const UInt32 _SWP_NOSIZE = 0x0001;
    const UInt32 _SWP_NOMOVE = 0x0002;
    const UInt32 _SWP_NOACTIVATE = 0x0010;


    public static async Task<BitmapSource> RenderAsync(this UIElement uiElement)
    {
        var brush = new VisualBrush(uiElement);
        var topLeft = uiElement.PointToScreen(new System.Windows.Point(0, 0));
        var bottomRight = uiElement.PointToScreen(new System.Windows.Point(uiElement.RenderSize.Width, uiElement.RenderSize.Height));

        var helperWindowLocation = Rect.Empty;
        helperWindowLocation.Union(topLeft);
        helperWindowLocation.Union(bottomRight);

        var width = helperWindowLocation.Width;
        var height = helperWindowLocation.Height;

        //
        var windowsScaleTransform = uiElement.GetWindowsScaleTransform();
        helperWindowLocation.X /= windowsScaleTransform;
        helperWindowLocation.Y /= windowsScaleTransform;
        helperWindowLocation.Width /= windowsScaleTransform;
        helperWindowLocation.Height /= windowsScaleTransform;

        BitmapSource bitmapSourceT = await RenderAsync(brush, helperWindowLocation, new System.Windows.Size(width, height));
        bitmapSourceT.Freeze();
        return bitmapSourceT;
    }

    private static async Task<BitmapSource> RenderAsync(System.Windows.Media.Brush brush, Rect helperWindowLocation, System.Windows.Size snapshotSize)
    {
        // Create a tmp window with its own hwnd to render it later
        var window = new Window { WindowStyle = WindowStyle.None, ResizeMode = ResizeMode.NoResize, ShowInTaskbar = false, Background = System.Windows.Media.Brushes.White };
        window.Left = helperWindowLocation.X;
        window.Top = helperWindowLocation.Y;
        window.Width = helperWindowLocation.Width;
        window.Height = helperWindowLocation.Height;
        window.ShowActivated = false;
        var content = new Grid() { Background = brush };
        RenderOptions.SetBitmapScalingMode(content, BitmapScalingMode.HighQuality);
        window.Content = content;
        var handle = new WindowInteropHelper(window).EnsureHandle();
        window.Show();
        // Make sure the tmp window is under our mainwindow to hide it
        SetWindowPos(handle, _HwndBottom, 0, 0, 0, 0, _SWP_NOMOVE | _SWP_NOSIZE | _SWP_NOACTIVATE);

        //Wait for the element to render
        //await popupChild.WaitForLoaded();
        await window.WaitForFullyRendered();

        ////Why we have to wait here fore the visualbrush to finish its lazy rendering Process? 
        //// Todo: It seems like very complex uielements does not finish its rendering process within one renderloop

        // Async BitBlt the tmp Window
        var bitmapSourceT = await Task.Run(() =>
        {
            Bitmap bitmap = VisualToBitmapConverter.GetBitmap(handle,
            (int)snapshotSize.Width, (int)snapshotSize.Height);

            var bitmapSource = new SharedBitmapSource(bitmap);
            bitmapSource.Freeze();
            return bitmapSource;
        });
        // Close the Window
        window.Close();

        return bitmapSourceT;
    }

I don't think you can.

You can try to perform the render on a background thread using something like await Task.Run(() => bitmap.Render(Button)); , but it's not going to work: the background thread won't be allowed to access the Button .
