Fields
AbsolutePositionPropertyKey
The key to the AbsolutePosition dependency property. AbsolutePosition indicates where the UIElement is pinned in the canvas.
[Display(null, "Layout")]
public static readonly PropertyKey<Vector3> AbsolutePositionPropertyKey
Field Value
PinOriginPropertyKey
The key to the PinOrigin dependency property. The PinOrigin indicate which point of the UIElement should be pinned to the canvas.
[Display(null, "Layout")]
public static readonly PropertyKey<Vector3> PinOriginPropertyKey
Field Value
Remarks
Those values are normalized between 0 and 1. (0,0,0) represent the Left/Top/Back corner and (1,1,1) represent the Right/Bottom/Front corner. UIElement's margins are included in the normalization. Values beyond [0,1] are clamped.
RelativePositionPropertyKey
The key to the RelativePosition dependency property. RelativePosition indicates where the UIElement is pinned in the canvas.
[Display(null, "Layout")]
public static readonly PropertyKey<Vector3> RelativePositionPropertyKey
Field Value
RelativeSizePropertyKey
The key to the RelativeSize dependency property. RelativeSize indicates the ratio of the size of the UIElement with respect to the parent size.
[Display(null, "Layout")]
public static readonly PropertyKey<Vector3> RelativeSizePropertyKey
Field Value
Remarks
Relative size must be strictly positive
UseAbsolutePositionPropertyKey
The key to the UseAbsolutionPosition dependency property. This indicates whether to use the AbsolutePosition or the RelativePosition to place to element.
[Display(null, "Layout")]
public static readonly PropertyKey<bool> UseAbsolutePositionPropertyKey
Field Value
Methods
ArrangeOverride(Vector3)
When overridden in a derived class, positions possible child elements and determines a size for a UIElement derived class.
protected override Vector3 ArrangeOverride(Vector3 finalSizeWithoutMargins)
Parameters
finalSizeWithoutMargins
Vector3The final area within the parent that this element should use to arrange itself and its children.
Returns
- Vector3
The actual size used.
ComputeAbsolutePinPosition(UIElement, ref Vector3)
Compute the child absolute position in the canvas according to parent size and the child layout properties.
protected Vector3 ComputeAbsolutePinPosition(UIElement child, ref Vector3 parentSize)
Parameters
Returns
- Vector3
The child absolute position offset
MeasureOverride(Vector3)
When overridden in a derived class, measures the size in layout required for possible child elements and determines a size for the UIElement-derived class.
protected override Vector3 MeasureOverride(Vector3 availableSizeWithoutMargins)
Parameters
availableSizeWithoutMargins
Vector3The available size that this element can give to child elements. Infinity can be specified as a value to indicate that the element will size to whatever content is available.
Returns
- Vector3
The size desired by the children
