Crash with software rendering in VirtualBox

Dear Arction Support:

I compiled the WPF demo app with v. 6.0.9 and when running on a Windows 7 virtual machine, the following crash occurred when I resized the demo window:

Application: Arction.WPF.DemoApp.exe

Have you read this: https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html#guestadd-3d

If the three preconditions are met, can you send us a screen capture of dxdiag tool's Display tab page? It will show what kind of display adapter is used and what features are enabled on VirtualBox.

VirtualBox's support for DirectX 9 is experimental so this kind of problem are most likely expected.

In the case that crashed, there was no hardware acceleration enabled -- the charts fall back to software rendering in that case, right? Anyhow, I am aware that the DirectX support in VirtualBox is experimental, I just wanted to forward the call stack to you in case there was something on your side that you noticed.
