CompositeShape Class

  • Article

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

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

Syntax

'Declaration
Public MustInherit Class CompositeShape
    Inherits Control
    Implements IGeometrySourceParameters, IShape

'Usage
Dim instance As CompositeShape

public abstract class CompositeShape : Control, IGeometrySourceParameters, IShape

public ref class CompositeShape abstract : public Control, IGeometrySourceParameters, IShape

public abstract class CompositeShape extends Control implements IGeometrySourceParameters, IShape

public abstract class CompositeShape extends Control implements IGeometrySourceParameters, IShape

Remarks

CompositeShape 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.
