3/28/2014

This class represents a brush that paints an area with a radial gradient. A focal point defines the beginning of the gradient, and an ellipse defines the endpoints of the gradient.

Methods

Thread Safety

Members of this class are thread-safe if you previously called IXRApplication::CreateHostFromXaml and supplied it with an XRWindowCreateParams structure that has AllowsMultipleThreadAccess set to true.

Remarks

The IXRRadialGradientBrush object resembles the IXRLinearGradientBrush object. However, the linear gradient has a starting point and an endpoint that define the gradient vector, whereas the radial gradient has a focal point that defines the starting point and an ellipse that defines the endpoints. In other words, a gradient stop at 1 defines the color at the ellipse circumference. A gradient stop at 0 defines the color at the focal point.

When you set identical RadiusX and RadiusY values, the shape of the outer ellipse of this radial gradient is a circle.

When you create a class instance, use an IXRRadialGradientBrushPtr smart pointer instead of a raw interface pointer. For more information, see XRPtr<Interface>.

You can also define a radial gradient brush in Microsoft Silverlight 3 XAML. For information about the differences between XAML in XAML for Windows Embedded and Silverlight 3, see Differences Between Microsoft Silverlight 3 and XAML for Windows Embedded. For more information about how to define this element in the source XAML for your application, see the RadialGradientBrush Class on MSDN.
