Text effects for nodes Posted: Aug 19, 2010
 

I'm using bold text, italic text, colored text, icons with nodes but I need more effects.  (The node represents a very large abstract object in my code and I'm looking for ways to illustrate many properties of my abstract object via Liquid.Node).


Can I add to my application some of this: strikeout(strikethogh) text, double colored titles of nodes, more the 1 icon for node, maybe some animation?

Maybe I can do all I need using Styles in xaml?


Thank you

Hi,


Unfortunately the text is a standard plain TextBlock, thus you cannot do the text effects mentioned.  You can however use multiple images (or whatever UIElement derived object you like) by setting the IconContent property.  So to create an icon containing 2 images I would firstly create a Grid and add the 2 images to the grid and then set the IconContent to contain your grid.


Thanks!
