CompositeShape Class

Expression Studio 4.0

Provides a base class of a composite shape that derives from Control and implements IShape.

Namespace: Microsoft.Expression.Controls
Assembly: Microsoft.Expression.Drawing (in microsoft.expression.drawing.dll)

Syntax

C++

public abstract class CompositeShape : Control, IGeometrySourceParameters, IShape

Remarks

CompositeShape implements IShape interface, and supports rendering a geometry similar to Shape, but the geometry can be rendered outside the layout boundary. A typical implementation has a customized default template in generic.xaml which template-binds most shape properties to a Path. It should also extend the GeometrySource property to customize the appearance of the Path.
