Hi, I'm new to XAML and i have a few questions.

How can i create styles and gradients using xaml programmatically in VB6. For example I have this:


    <LinearGradientBrush x:Key="FolderBrush" StartPoint="0,0" EndPoint="1,0">
        <GradientStop Color="#d6e8ff" Offset="0"/>
        <GradientStop Color="#e3efff" Offset="0.5"/>
        <GradientStop Color="#d6e8ff" Offset="1"/>
    </LinearGradientBrush>

How do i code this in VB6 so that i can use it as a style?
I was assuming it would be something like:


Dim LinearGradient As MarkupLinearGradientBrush
Set LinearGradient As MarkupLabel1.Context.CreateObject("LinearGradientBrush")
...

but I don't see any objects like MarkupLinearGradientBrush or MarkupGradientStop or Style in the manual and there are no samples available.

Any information will be appreciated. Thank you very much.

Yeah I'd like to know that too

I want to build markup in code with the markup objects, but I can't find a way to use styles and triggers that way or set gradients.

For now I reverted to having a textual template where I modify certain parameters, but it's not the prefered way.

hi oleg,

I'll ask the default question in response to your answer:

Will it be implemented, and if so: when will it be made available?

After working with Parse() and large pieces of CString, I'd come to the conclusion that creating the objects at runtime is much more efficient and cleaner programming. Being able to create styles for objects and attaching/detaching them to and from MarkupObjects would really make CXTPMarkup a much more elegant UI solution.

thanks in advance.

Bob
