Original Pull Request: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/6527

State: closed
Merged: Yes

I was told that the DeviceContext version supercedes the RenderTarget
one. This moves us to it so we can gain access to a higher level of
control over the various pieces in our pipeline as we continue to evolve
the renderer.

The underlying motivation here is to potentially use a
ID2D1CommandList to batch our commands and run them all later outside
the lock. That can only really be done with this more granular level of
control over the pipeline. So this moves to that in a single step that
is easily findable in history should we have problems

I discussed this with @NiklasBorson of the Direct2D/DirectWrite team as
well as with @DHowett before doing it.

Validation

  • Checked docs to make sure that these work on Windows 7 with
    Platform Update
  • Manual smoke test real quick
  • Try running on Win7 + Platform Update after change
  • Probably do more than just a smoke test manually or otherwise

Closes #6525
