CompositeContentShape Class

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

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public MustInherit Class CompositeContentShape
    Inherits ContentControl
    Implements IGeometrySourceParameters, IShape
'Usage
Dim instance As CompositeContentShape
public abstract class CompositeContentShape : ContentControl, IGeometrySourceParameters, IShape
public ref class CompositeContentShape abstract : public ContentControl, IGeometrySourceParameters, IShape
public abstract class CompositeContentShape extends ContentControl implements IGeometrySourceParameters, IShape
public abstract class CompositeContentShape extends ContentControl implements IGeometrySourceParameters, IShape

Remarks

CompositeContentShape 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. This class also supports showing content together with the shape.
