Media

The ActiproSoftware.Windows.Media namespace has a UIColor structure that has a lot of helper methods for working with colors and a VisualTreeHelperExtended class that adds some useful methods that aren't in the core VisualTreeHelper class.

General

These general types are found in the namespace:

BrushOpacityConverter Class

BrushOpacityConverter value converter can be used in XAML bindings to return a clone of a Brush with its opacity set to a specified value.

See the Value Converters topic for more information on this class.

ColorInterpolationConverter Class

ColorInterpolationConverter value converter can be used in XAML bindings to return the linear Color value that is the specified percentage between the value of two Color objects.

See the Value Converters topic for more information on this class.

IconFrameConverter Class

IconFrameConverter value converter can be used in binding statements to select an image frame based on its size from an icon (ICO) file. Normally, the first frame from the icon file is returned which may not be the desired size. Using this value converter, a different size frame can be selected regardless of whether it's the first frame.

By default, IconFrameConverter will return the first 32x32 image frame. The desired size can be set using DesiredHeight and DesiredWidth. If no image of the desired size is found, then the passed value is returned.

IconFrameSelector Class

IconFrameSelector markup extension can be used in XAML to select an image frame based on its size from an icon (ICO) file. Normally, the first frame from the icon file is returned which may not be the desired size. Using this markup extension, a different size frame can be selected regardless of whether it's the first frame.

By default, IconFrameSelector will return the first 32x32 image frame. The desired size can be set using DesiredHeight and DesiredWidth. If no image of the desired size is found, then the default ImageSource is returned.

LinearGradientBrushExtension Class

The LinearGradientBrushExtension class implements a markup extension that returns a LinearGradientBrush based on the specified parameters.

UIColor Structure

The UIColor structure provides an enhanced representation of a Color object that supports the RGB, HSB, and HLS color models, conversion between models, and numerous other color helper methods. Static methods on the structure are used to create an instance of it.

These instance members are found in the structure:

These static members are found in the structure, many of which are used to create a UIColor:

VisualTreeHelperExtended Class

The VisualTreeHelperExtended class has several static methods that are useful for performing common tasks with nodes in a visual tree. This class provides some advanced functionality that is not found in the VisualTreeHelper class.
