Hi Stoyo

With custom control, I don't have issue with border and image ( as queried in my previous post).

With the sample custom control provided, I see that I can create my own custom control and in the sample, I can position the text as per my requirment.

Is it possible that, with custom control, I can use Shape ? So I can create my own control in which center area is assigned to shape display and whenever I resize the custom control, my shape gets resized automatically.

Can you provide me some sample with same.

Regards
Rajesh

Hi Stoyo

Thanks for your quick reply. I was already looking in the Tutorial 3 and found one issue with it.

If I change my template as following, the Shape gets clipped ( You need to resize the node to view the shape )

Following the partial updated xaml  code from generic.xml file


<Canvas x:Name="Adorner">

<Grid Width="{TemplateBinding Width}" Height="{TemplateBinding Height}" ShowGridLines="True">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="80" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                           <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                               <RowDefinition Height="80" />
                               <RowDefinition Height="*" />
                           </Grid.RowDefinitions>
                           <Image
Source="{TemplateBinding Image}"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
Stretch="Uniform">
</Image>

<StackPanel Margin="4,8,0,0"  Orientation="Vertical" Grid.Column="1">
<TextBlock Text="{TemplateBinding Title}" FontWeight="800" />
<TextBlock Text="{TemplateBinding FullName}" Foreground="Blue" />
<TextBlock Text="{TemplateBinding Text}" FontSize="9" />
</StackPanel>

                           <Path Grid.Row="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Margin="10"
Data="{TemplateBinding ShapeGeometry}"
Stroke="{TemplateBinding Stroke}"
Fill="{TemplateBinding Brush}" />


                       </Grid>

</Canvas>

Hi,

Thanks, Stretch=Fill works.

With this templating functionality, I am able to show gradient color also. Nice functionality :)

I am also able to draw the border for complete canvas used for custom control.

The new issue with this is that, the link drawn between these two controls is not on border.

How one can indicate where the links should be drawn -
For eq. If i draw borders, then I want to draw link end points on borders.

And if borders are not drawn, i would like to draw the links on borders of shapes.
