This class represents a control with a single piece of content, such as a UI object or a text string.

Syntax

class IXRContentControl : public IXRControl

Methods

Method	Description
IXRContentControl::GetContent	Retrieves the object that represents the content that is displayed inside this control.
IXRContentControl::SetContent	Sets the object that represents the content that is displayed inside this control.

Remarks

IXRContentControl is the base class that other content controls inherit from. Content controls such as IXRCheckBox and IXRRadioButton inherit from this intermediate base class.

The Content property of an IXRContentControl object can be any kind of object, such as a text string, or an IXRUIElement derived object. The IXRContentControl object displays its content on-screen, inside its bounding frame. When Content is an IXRUIElement derived object, the IXRUIElement object is displayed inside the content control. When Content is set to another kind of object, a string representation of the object is displayed inside the content control.

You can access or modify this property by calling IXRContentControl::GetContent or IXRContentControl::SetContent.

An IXRContentControl object has a limited default style. If you want to augment the appearance of the control, you can create a new IXRContentControl::SetContent.

You can also define a content control in Microsoft Silverlight 2 XAML.
