Represents a text effect that can be applied to text objects.
Assembly: PresentationCore (in PresentationCore.dll)
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | TextEffect() | Initializes a new instance of the TextEffect class. |
![]() | TextEffect(Transform^, Brush^, Geometry^, Int32, Int32) | Initializes a new instance of the TextEffect class by specifying class property values. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | CanFreeze | Gets a value that indicates whether the object can be made unmodifiable. (Inherited from Freezable.) |
![]() | Clip | Gets or sets the clipping region of the TextEffect. |
![]() | DependencyObjectType | Gets the DependencyObjectType that wraps the CLR type of this instance. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
![]() | Dispatcher | Gets the Dispatcher this DispatcherObject is associated with. (Inherited from DispatcherObject.) |
![]() | Foreground | Gets or sets the Brush to apply to the content of the TextEffect. |
![]() | HasAnimatedProperties | Gets a value that indicates whether one or more AnimationClock objects is associated with any of this object's dependency properties.(Inherited from Animatable.) |
![]() | IsFrozen | Gets a value that indicates whether the object is currently modifiable. (Inherited from Freezable.) |
![]() | IsSealed | Gets a value that indicates whether this instance is currently sealed (read-only).(Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
![]() | PositionCount | Gets or sets the position in the text that the TextEffect applies to. |
![]() | PositionStart | Gets or sets the starting position in the text that the TextEffect applies to. |
![]() | Transform | Gets or sets the Transform that is applied to the TextEffect. |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() | 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 clone of this TextEffect, making deep copies of this object's values. When copying dependency properties, this method copies resource references and data bindings (but they might no longer resolve) but not animations or their current values. |
![]() | CloneCurrentValue() | Creates a modifiable clone of this TextEffect object, making deep copies of this object's current values. Resource references, data bindings, and animations are not copied, but their current values are. |
![]() | 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.) |
![]() | 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.) |
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
![]() ![]() | ClipProperty | Identifies the Clip dependency property. |
![]() ![]() | ForegroundProperty | Identifies the Foreground dependency property. |
![]() ![]() | PositionCountProperty | Identifies the PositionCount dependency property. |
![]() ![]() | PositionStartProperty | Identifies the PositionStart dependency property. |
![]() ![]() | TransformProperty | Identifies the Transform dependency property. |
The TextEffect object allows you to add effects, such as animations, to text objects, such as TextBlock, TextElement, and FlowDocument objects.
The following example shows an individual character being rotated. Each character is rotated independently at 1-second intervals. The example a defines a TextEffect that contains a RotateTransform that applies to each character in the TextBlock::Text property. The example defines the animations for the Angle and CenterX properties of the RotateTransform object. A third animation of type Int32AnimationUsingKeyFrames changes the PositionStart property from 0 to 12 during the animation sequence, corresponding to the 13-character text string.
