Remarks

A detailed walkthrough of how to use a VideoBrush is documented in VideoBrush Overview.

A VideoBrush is a type of Brush object similar to a LinearGradientBrush or an ImageBrush. However, instead of painting an area with a solid color, a gradient, or an image, it paints an area with video content. This video content is provided by a MediaElement. Just like the other brush types, you can use a VideoBrush to paint the Fill of a shape such as a Rectangle or the geometry contents of a Path, the Background of a Canvas, or the Foreground of a TextBlock or Run.

To use a VideoBrush, you create a MediaElement, apply the VideoBrush to the object that you want to paint, and set the VideoBrush object's SourceName property to the name of the MediaElement that you created.

Silverlight 4 introduces an overload of SetSource(CaptureSource) that is used for webcam scenarios. For this scenario, you set the source video for a VideoBrush using a CaptureSource. For more information on obtaining a CaptureSource and webcam scenarios, see CaptureSource and VideoSink.

Examples

The following example uses a VideoBrush to paint the Foreground of a TextBlock.

Run this sample

<Canvas

  xmlns:x="https://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml">

    <MediaElement 
      x:Name="butterflyMediaElement" 
      Source="sampleMedia/Butterfly.wmv" IsMuted="True"
      Opacity="0.0" IsHitTestVisible="False" />

    <TextBlock Canvas.Left="5" Canvas.Top="30"  
      FontFamily="Verdana" FontSize="120" 
      FontWeight="Bold" TextWrapping="Wrap"
      Text="Video">

        <!-- Paint the text with video. -->
        <TextBlock.Foreground>
          <VideoBrush SourceName="butterflyMediaElement" Stretch="UniformToFill" />
        </TextBlock.Foreground>
    </TextBlock>

</Canvas>
