HOW TO: Render XAML markup into a device context

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi,

is there a way to render markup into an arbitrary device context?
Without the need to use one of the markup-enabled XTP Controls I mean?

I see that some of your samples use a CXTPMarkupContext class, but there is no documentation for this class anywhere. I know XTP documentation is sparse, but there is absolutely nothing on this class, or the promised "render" function which allows me to render markup into a DC. Any help appreciated.

	Hi, Here small sample: CXTPMarkupContext* pMarkupContext = XTPMarkupCreateContext(); CXTPMarkupUIElement* pMarkupUIElement = XTPMarkupParseText(pMarkupContext , lpszCaption); // Optional XTPMarkupSetDefaultFont(pMarkupContext (HFONT)pFont->GetSafeHandle(), pDC->GetTextColor()); XTPMarkupRenderElement(pMarkupUIElement, pDC->GetSafeHdc(), rcText); XTPMarkupReleaseElement(pMarkupUIElement); XTPMarkupReleaseContext(pMarkupContext);

	Thanks, Oleg. This worked! Support for XAML is a very valuable addition to XTP.
