I try to make an opacity mask for an image in wpf via this xaml:
<Border x:Name="border1" Margin="20" BorderThickness="2" BorderBrush="Red" CornerRadius="50" >
<Grid>
<Border Background="Wheat" x:Name="border2" CornerRadius="50"/>
<Image Margin="0" Source="Images/SpiderMan.png" Stretch="Fill">
<Image.OpacityMask>
<VisualBrush Visual="{Binding ElementName=border2}"/>
</Image.OpacityMask>
</Image>
</Grid>
</Border>
this xaml works properly and is fine, but when i change Elementname to border1 that does not work? why this happens?
Edited(another question):
in above xaml, image do not show until i set Background property of
border2 but wht this happens? why without background property image do not show?
Border1 can't be assigned to VisualBrush since it is a parent control. If such binding will be allowed.. you will faced with huge recursion and stackoverflow exception. Next XAML shold work
<Grid>
<Border x:Name="border1" Margin="20" BorderThickness="2" BorderBrush="Red" CornerRadius="50" />
<Grid>
<Border Background="Wheat" x:Name="border2" CornerRadius="50"/>
<Image Margin="0" Source="Images/SpiderMan.png" Stretch="Fill">
<Image.OpacityMask>
<VisualBrush Visual="{Binding ElementName=border1}"/>
</Image.OpacityMask>
</Image>
</Grid>
</Grid>

I've got the following control template which I use as a Validation.ErrorTemplate for TextBoxes:-
<ControlTemplate x:Key="ControlValidationErrorTemplate">
<DockPanel LastChildFill="True">
<Border Background="Red"
DockPanel.Dock="right"
Padding="2,0,2,0"
ToolTip="{Binding ElementName=valAdorner, Path=AdornedElement.(Validation.Errors), Converter={x:Static val:ValidationErrorsConverter.Instance}}">
<TextBlock Text="!"
VerticalAlignment="center"
HorizontalAlignment="center"
FontWeight="Bold"
Foreground="white" />
</Border>
<AdornedElementPlaceholder x:Name="valAdorner"
VerticalAlignment="Center">
<Border BorderBrush="red"
BorderThickness="1" />
</AdornedElementPlaceholder>
</DockPanel>
</ControlTemplate>
When a TextBox contains invalid content, the above template applies a red border and adds a red box containing an exclamation mark immediately to the right of the TB.
The problem is, the exclamation mark overlaps anything immediately to the right of the TB, rather than the layout changing to accomomodate the exclamation mark. I have a similar problem in DataGrids - the exclamation mark overlaps the right-hand edge of the containing cell, rather than the column width increasing to accommodate it.
Using Snoop, it appears that the template is being displayed in an "adorner layer" which I assume is a separate visual tree? This would explain why the window's layout isn't recalculated to take into account the exclamation mark. Can anyone suggest a way to achieve what I want?
As I suspected, it's due to the error template being rendered on the adorner layer, so it doesn't affect the layout of the window. See: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/wpf/thread/9de3c9e5-5759-4f88-9184-175d3eaabdad/
I'm now using this control template instead:-
<ControlTemplate x:Key="ControlValidationErrorTemplate">
<Grid>
<Polygon Points="9,9 9,0 0,0"
Stroke="Red"
StrokeThickness="1"
Fill="Red"
HorizontalAlignment="Right"
VerticalAlignment="Top"
ToolTip="{Binding ElementName=valAdorner, Path=AdornedElement.(Validation.Errors), Converter={x:Static val:ValidationErrorsConverter.Instance}}" />
<AdornedElementPlaceholder x:Name="valAdorner"
VerticalAlignment="Center">
<Border BorderBrush="red"
BorderThickness="1" />
</AdornedElementPlaceholder>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
This draws a red border around the control, with a small red triangle overlapping the top-right corner of the control - hovering over this displays a tooltip containing the error message.
I've used WPF and IDataErrorInfo in the past apps to display errors to the user via a controltemplate by putting an image in the adorner and adding a tooltip to the image like this;
<Style x:Key="textStyle" TargetType="TextBox">
<Setter Property="Validation.ErrorTemplate">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate>
<DockPanel LastChildFill="True">
<Border BorderBrush="Orange"
BorderThickness="2"
CornerRadius="4"
SnapsToDevicePixels="True">
<Border.Effect>
<DropShadowEffect BlurRadius="10"
ShadowDepth="0"
Color="Orange" />
</Border.Effect>
<DockPanel>
<Image Width="16"
Height="16"
Margin="-20,0,0,0"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="HighQuality"
Source="{StaticResource imgError}"
ToolTip="{Binding ElementName=adornedElement,
Path=AdornedElement.(Validation.Errors).CurrentItem.ErrorContent}"
ToolTipService.ShowDuration="30000" />
<AdornedElementPlaceholder Name="adornedElement" />
</DockPanel>
</Border>
</DockPanel>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
With the appropriate implementation of IDataErrorInfo in the ViewModel and setting Textbox in the view accordingly the image and tooltip are shown;
<TextBox Name="txt"
Grid.Column="0"
Height="40"
Background="Aqua"
Style="{StaticResource textStyle}"
Text="{Binding Path=Text,
UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged,
ValidatesOnDataErrors=True}" />
<TextBlock Grid.Column="1"
Height="40"
Background="AliceBlue"
Text="{Binding ElementName=txt,
Path=(Validation.Errors).CurrentItem.ErrorContent}" />
The above code displays correctly in my previous apps and shows the error in the image tooltip as confirmed by the Textblock.
However, in my current app which is built using Prism I can't get the Image to display. The TextBlock updates correctly and I can set the error to the TextBox tooltip via a style trigger without any issue. The problem is I can't seem to get the image (or anything else) to display in the Adorner. The Image is not shown and border is not changed.
The difference between previous apps and this is that the view is in a Region in a ContentControl and I've used dependency injection to inject the viewmodel into the view constructor and set the DataContext.
I can't figure out why this doesn't work when it did previously. I think I may need to include an AdornerDecorator somewhere but I'm perplexed as to where having tried it in a few places without success. Any ideas how I can ensure the Adorner is shown?
Used an AdornerDecorator to wrap the element containing the texbox and all works fine.
I have a StackPanel containing five images and I want to put a black border around each image.
The XAML I have at the moment is:
<Image Name="imgPic1"
Width="100"
Height="75"
Stretch="Fill"
VerticalAlignment="Top" />
I thought I would be just able to put a one-unit margin or padding on the image and set a background color to 000000 but Padding and Background are both invalid for images.
What is an easy way to do this in XAML? Do I really have to put each image inside another control to get a border around it or is there some other trickery I can use?
Simply wrap the Image in a Border control
<Border BorderThickness="1">
<Image Name="imgPic1"
Width="100"
Height="75"
Stretch="Fill"
VerticalAlignment="Top" />
</Border>
You could also provide a style you apply to images that does this if you don't want to do it around every image
Final solution from answer and comments added by Pax:
<Border BorderThickness="1"
BorderBrush="#FF000000"
VerticalAlignment="Top">
<Image Name="imgPic1"
Width="100"
Height="75"
Stretch="Fill"
VerticalAlignment="Top"/>
</Border>
The accepted answer will not work because of the problem described here
https://wpf.2000things.com/2011/04/17/279-adding-a-border-around-an-image-control/
I solved it this way.
<Viewbox>
<Border BorderThickness="3" BorderBrush="Red">
<Image Stretch="None" ></Image>
</Border>
</Viewbox>
I just stumbled upon this post and the other answer did not work right. Maybe because I now use framework 4 and this post is old?
In any case - if someone will see this by chance in the future - here is my answer:
<Border Name="brdSiteLogo"
BorderThickness="2"
BorderBrush="#FF000000"
VerticalAlignment="Top"
HorizontalAlignment="Left"
Margin="12,112,0,0"
Height="128"
Width="128">
<Image Name="imgSiteLogo"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
Stretch="Fill"/>
</Border>
The border thickness and brush are important (if you wont choose a color - you will not see the border!!!)
Also, the border should be aligned on your window. The image is "inside" the border, so you can use margins or just stretch it like I did.
Simple question,
SilverLight 3 application (no toolkit).
I want to use an image and a slider.
The image is displayed fit to screen on load, and then the slider has to zoom-in and out the image when its value changes. I don't want to use anything else, like deepzoom. How can this be done?
Urgent, Thanks in advance,
The xaml code below :
<ScrollViewer x:Name="scroll" HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" >
<layout:LayoutTransformer x:Name="layout" Background="{x:Null}" >
<layout:LayoutTransformer.LayoutTransform>
<ScaleTransform x:Name="contentScale" ScaleX="1.0" ScaleY="1.0" />
</layout:LayoutTransformer.LayoutTransform>
<Image x:Name="img" Source="../pin.PNG" >
</Image>
</layout:LayoutTransformer>
</ScrollViewer>
And on the slidervaluechangedevent :
this.contentScale.ScaleX = this.contentScale.ScaleY = e.NewValue;
this.layout.ApplyLayoutTransform();
LayoutTransformer is ther in toolkit, add its reference:
System.Windows.Controls.Layout.Toolkit
Without having a toolkit, u can do it but it doesn't work properly(it will never update the scrollviewer)...try it the below one :
<ScrollViewer x:Name="scroll" HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Themes:ThemeManager.StyleKey="TreeScrollViewer">
<Image x:Name="img" Source="../charge_chargeline.PNG" >
<Image.RenderTransform>
<ScaleTransform x:Name="contentScale" ScaleX="1.0" ScaleY="1.0" />
</Image.RenderTransform>
</Image>
</ScrollViewer>
And on the slidervaluechangedevent :
`this.contentScale.ScaleX = this.contentScale.ScaleY = e.NewValue`;
Hope it helps :)....
Is there a way to put a clipping path on an ImageBrush in Silverlight (not an Image)? I don't see it available from Intellisense, but I'm wondering if there may be a way to do this.
Yet another unpopular "No" answer. The answer is: there is isn't a way to do this.
One possible work around if its vital to create such a brush might be to use a WriteableBitmap. Render an Image using the original source plus the Clip onto a WriteableBitmap then use it as the source to an ImageBrush.
Maybe this will help
I had a problem with an ImageBrush and a Border with a CornerRadius. I couldn't get the Image to fill/clip to fit. I resolved it by moving the ImageBrush to the content of the Border.
Here's the original with the problem:
<Border CornerRadius="0,0,4,4" BorderThickness="0">
<Border.Background>
<ImageBrush ImageSource="/SLTest;component/Resources/background_image.png" Opacity="1" Stretch="UniformToFill" />
</Border.Background>
<ListBox x:Name="lbiMesages"
Opacity="1" BorderThickness="0"
IsHitTestVisible="False"
ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource ListBoxItemStyle1}"
>
Here's the working version:
<ListBox x:Name="lbiMessages"
Opacity="1" BorderThickness="0"
IsHitTestVisible="False"
ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource ListBoxItemStyle1}"
>
<ListBox.Template>
<ControlTemplate>
<Border CornerRadius="0,0,4,4" BorderThickness="0">
<Border.Background>
<ImageBrush ImageSource="/SLTest;component/Resources/background_image.png" Opacity="1" Stretch="UniformToFill" />
</Border.Background>
...
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>
