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.
