Thread Safety

Members of this class are thread-safe if you previously called IXRApplication::CreateHostFromXaml and supplied it with an XRWindowCreateParams structure that has AllowsMultipleThreadAccess set to true.

Remarks

An IXRImageBrush object paints an area with an IXRImageSource object. In XAML for Windows Embedded, IXRImageSource is a base class for IXRBitmapImage, which describes a bitmap graphic.

An IXRImageBrush object is a type of IXRTileBrush that defines its content as an image. You can control how the image is stretched, aligned, and tiled, which enables you to produce patterns and other effects.

One use for an image brush is to create a decorative effect for text in your application. To create this effect, supply an image brush as the fill of the text by using the IXRTextBlock::SetForeground method or the IXRGlyphs::SetFill method.

If you attempt to set an image that is in an invalid format or is specified to a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that cannot be resolved, the ImageFailed event is raised. You can create an event handler for this event, and attach a delegate for that handler by using the IXRImageBrush::AddImageFailedEventHandler method.

When you create a class instance, use an IXRImageBrushPtr smart pointer instead of a raw interface pointer. For more information, see XRPtr<Interface>.

You can also define an image brush in Microsoft Silverlight 3 XAML. For information about the differences between XAML in XAML for Windows Embedded and Silverlight 3, see Differences Between Microsoft Silverlight 3 and XAML for Windows Embedded. For more information about how to define this element in the source XAML for your application, see the ImageBrush Class on MSDN.
