| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | Append() | |
![]() | ApplyAnimationClock(DependencyProperty^, AnimationClock^) | Applies an AnimationClock to the specified DependencyProperty. If the property is already animated, the SnapshotAndReplace handoff behavior is used.(Inherited from Animatable.) |
![]() | ApplyAnimationClock(DependencyProperty^, AnimationClock^, HandoffBehavior) | Applies an AnimationClock to the specified DependencyProperty. If the property is already animated, the specified HandoffBehavior is used.(Inherited from Animatable.) |
![]() | BeginAnimation(DependencyProperty^, AnimationTimeline^) | Applies an animation to the specified DependencyProperty. The animation is started when the next frame is rendered. If the specified property is already animated, the SnapshotAndReplace handoff behavior is used.(Inherited from Animatable.) |
![]() | BeginAnimation(DependencyProperty^, AnimationTimeline^, HandoffBehavior) | Applies an animation to the specified DependencyProperty. The animation is started when the next frame is rendered. If the specified property is already animated, the specified HandoffBehavior is used. (Inherited from Animatable.) |
![]() | CheckAccess() | Determines whether the calling thread has access to this DispatcherObject.(Inherited from DispatcherObject.) |
![]() | ClearValue(DependencyProperty^) | Clears the local value of a property. The property to be cleared is specified by a DependencyProperty identifier. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
![]() | ClearValue(DependencyPropertyKey^) | Clears the local value of a read-only property. The property to be cleared is specified by a DependencyPropertyKey. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
![]() | Clone() | Creates a modifiable deep copy of this DrawingGroup and makes deep copies of its values. |
![]() | CloneCurrentValue() | Creates a modifiable deep copy of this DrawingGroup object and makes deep copies of its current values. |
![]() | CoerceValue(DependencyProperty^) | Coerces the value of the specified dependency property. This is accomplished by invoking any CoerceValueCallback function specified in property metadata for the dependency property as it exists on the calling DependencyObject.(Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
![]() | Equals(Object^) | Determines whether a provided DependencyObject is equivalent to the current DependencyObject.(Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
![]() | Freeze() | |
![]() | GetAnimationBaseValue(DependencyProperty^) | Returns the non-animated value of the specified DependencyProperty.(Inherited from Animatable.) |
![]() | GetAsFrozen() | |
![]() | GetCurrentValueAsFrozen() | |
![]() | GetHashCode() | Gets a hash code for this DependencyObject.(Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
![]() | GetLocalValueEnumerator() | Creates a specialized enumerator for determining which dependency properties have locally set values on this DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
![]() | GetType() | |
![]() | GetValue(DependencyProperty^) | Returns the current effective value of a dependency property on this instance of a DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
![]() | InvalidateProperty(DependencyProperty^) | Re-evaluates the effective value for the specified dependency property(Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
![]() | Open() | |
![]() | ReadLocalValue(DependencyProperty^) | Returns the local value of a dependency property, if it exists. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
![]() | SetCurrentValue(DependencyProperty^, Object^) | Sets the value of a dependency property without changing its value source. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
![]() | SetValue(DependencyProperty^, Object^) | Sets the local value of a dependency property, specified by its dependency property identifier. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
![]() | SetValue(DependencyPropertyKey^, Object^) | Sets the local value of a read-only dependency property, specified by the DependencyPropertyKey identifier of the dependency property. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
![]() | ShouldSerializeProperty(DependencyProperty^) | Returns a value that indicates whether serialization processes should serialize the value for the provided dependency property.(Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
![]() | ToString() | Returns a string that represents the current object.(Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | VerifyAccess() | Enforces that the calling thread has access to this DispatcherObject.(Inherited from DispatcherObject.) |

Use a DrawingGroup to combine multiple drawings into a single, composite drawing. Unlike other Drawing objects, you can apply a Transform, BitmapEffect, Opacity setting, OpacityMask, ClipGeometry, or a GuidelineSet to a DrawingGroup. The flexibility of this class enables you to create complex scenes.
Because DrawingGroup is also a Drawing, it can contain other DrawingGroup objects.
For more information about Drawing objects, see Drawing Objects Overview.
Freezable Features: Because it inherits from the Freezable class, the DrawingGroup class provides several special features: DrawingGroup objects can be declared as , shared among multiple objects, made read-only to improve performance, cloned, and made thread-safe. For more information about the different features provided by Freezable objects, see Freezable Objects Overview.
