Methods

	Name	Description
	AddHandler	Adds a routed event handler for a specified routed event, adding the handler to the handler collection on the current element. Specify handledEventsToo as true to have the provided handler be invoked for routed event that had already been marked as handled by another element along the event route. (Inherited from UIElement.)
	Arrange	Positions child objects and determines a size for a UIElement. Parent objects that implement custom layout for their child elements should call this method from their layout override implementations to form a recursive layout update. (Inherited from UIElement.)
	ArrangeOverride	Provides the behavior for the Arrange pass of Silverlight layout. Classes can override this method to define their own Arrange pass behavior. (Inherited from FrameworkElement.)
	CaptureMouse	Sets mouse capture to a UIElement. (Inherited from UIElement.)
	CheckAccess	Determines whether the calling thread has access to this object. (Inherited from DependencyObject.)
	ClearValue	Clears the local value of a dependency property. (Inherited from DependencyObject.)
	ElementToLogicalPoint	Gets a point with logical coordinates (values between 0 and 1) from a point of the MultiScaleImage.
	Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	Finalize	Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.)
	FindName	Retrieves an object that has the specified identifier name. (Inherited from FrameworkElement.)
	GetAnimationBaseValue	Returns any base value established for a Silverlight dependency property, which would apply in cases where an animation is not active. (Inherited from DependencyObject.)
	GetBindingExpression	Retrieves the BindingExpression for a dependency property where a binding is established. (Inherited from FrameworkElement.)
	GetHashCode	Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.)
	GetValue	Returns the current effective value of a dependency property from a DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject.)
	InvalidateArrange	Invalidates the arrange state (layout) for a UIElement. After the invalidation, the UIElement will have its layout updated, which will occur asynchronously. (Inherited from UIElement.)
	InvalidateMeasure	Invalidates the measurement state (layout) for a UIElement. (Inherited from UIElement.)
	LogicalToElementPoint	Gets a point with pixel coordinates relative to the MultiScaleImage from a logical point (values between 0 and 1).
	Measure	Updates the DesiredSize of a UIElement. Typically, objects that implement custom layout for their layout children call this method from their own MeasureOverride implementations to form a recursive layout update. (Inherited from UIElement.)
	MeasureOverride	Provides the behavior for the Measure pass of Silverlight layout. Classes can override this method to define their own Measure pass behavior. (Inherited from FrameworkElement.)
	MemberwiseClone	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.)
	OnApplyTemplate	When overridden in a derived class, is invoked whenever application code or internal processes (such as a rebuilding layout pass) call ApplyTemplate. In simplest terms, this means the method is called just before a UI element displays in an application. For more information, see Remarks. (Inherited from FrameworkElement.)
	OnCreateAutomationPeer	When implemented in a derived class, returns class-specific AutomationPeer implementations for the Silverlight automation infrastructure. (Inherited from UIElement.)
	ReadLocalValue	Returns the local value of a dependency property, if a local value is set. (Inherited from DependencyObject.)
	ReleaseMouseCapture	Removes mouse capture from a UIElement. After this call, typically no object holds mouse capture. (Inherited from UIElement.)
	RemoveHandler	Removes the specified routed event handler from this UIElement. (Inherited from UIElement.)
	SetBinding	Attaches a binding to a FrameworkElement, using the provided binding object, and returns a BindingExpressionBase for possible later use. (Inherited from FrameworkElement.)

	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.)
	TransformToVisual	Returns a transform object that can be used to transform coordinates from the UIElement to the specified object. (Inherited from UIElement.)
	UpdateLayout	Ensures that all positions of child objects of a UIElement are properly updated for layout. (Inherited from UIElement.)
	ZoomAboutLogicalPoint	Enables a user to zoom in on a point of the MultiScaleImage.

Remarks

The MultiScaleImage class is one of the key objects of Silverlight's Deep Zoom technology. MultiScaleImage is modeled after MediaElement and allows a user to open a multi-resolution image or collection of images. For information about the format, see Deep Zoom.

By default, a user cannot zoom into or pan across the image loaded by MultiScaleImage. However, MultiScaleImage includes methods to zoom and pan, which can be utilized by the developer.

By default, the image loaded by MultiScaleImage zooms (expands) onto the page when the page first loads. You can disable this behavior by setting the UseSprings property to false. However, you will probably want to set this property to true when the user begins interacting with the image.

Examples

In this simple example, the MouseEnter event is used to zoom into the middle of the image when the mouse pointer moves over the image.

Run this sample

<Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
    <MultiScaleImage x:Name="MyMSI" Source="source/dzc_output.xml"  MouseEnter="MyMSI_MouseEnter" MouseLeftButtonDown="MyMSI_LeftButtonDown" 
                     ImageOpenSucceeded="MyMSI_ImageOpenSucceeded" MouseLeave="MyMSI_MouseLeave" />

</Grid>

Private Sub MyMSI_MouseEnter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As MouseEventArgs)
    If MyMSI.UseSprings = False Then
        MyMSI.UseSprings = True
    End If

    ' The ZoomAboutLogicalPoint method allows you to zoom and pan
    ' in the same step. The first parameter is the zoom (3x) and the
    ' second and third parameters are the respective x and y coordinates
    ' of the logical point to zoom around.
    Me.MyMSI.ZoomAboutLogicalPoint(3, 0.5, 0.5)

End Sub

private void MyMSI_MouseEnter(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    if (MyMSI.UseSprings == false)
    {
        MyMSI.UseSprings = true;
    }

    // The ZoomAboutLogicalPoint method allows you to zoom and pan
    // in the same step. The first parameter is the zoom (3x) and the
    // second and third parameters are the respective x and y coordinates
    // of the logical point to zoom around.
    this.MyMSI.ZoomAboutLogicalPoint(3, .5, .5);

}
