Examples

The following code example shows how to add a mapping for the Margin property to an ElementHost control.

// The AddMarginMapping method adds a new property mapping
// for the Margin property.
private void AddMarginMapping()
{
    elemHost.PropertyMap.Add(
        "Margin",
        new PropertyTranslator(OnMarginChange));
}

// The OnMarginChange method implements the mapping 
// from the Windows Forms Margin property to the
// Windows Presentation Foundation Margin property.
//
// The provided Padding value is used to construct 
// a Thickness value for the hosted element's Margin
// property.
private void OnMarginChange(object h, String propertyName, object value)
{
    ElementHost host = h as ElementHost;
    Padding p = (Padding)value;
    System.Windows.Controls.Button wpfButton = 
        host.Child as System.Windows.Controls.Button;

    Thickness t = new Thickness(p.Left, p.Top, p.Right, p.Bottom );

    wpfButton.Margin = t;
}

' The AddMarginMapping method adds a new property mapping
' for the Margin property.
Private Sub AddMarginMapping()

    elemHost.PropertyMap.Add( _
        "Margin", _
        New PropertyTranslator(AddressOf OnMarginChange))

End Sub


' The OnMarginChange method implements the mapping 
' from the Windows Forms Margin property to the
' Windows Presentation Foundation Margin property.
'
' The provided Padding value is used to construct 
' a Thickness value for the hosted element's Margin
' property.
Private Sub OnMarginChange( _
ByVal h As Object, _
ByVal propertyName As String, _
ByVal value As Object)

    Dim host As ElementHost = h
    Dim p As Padding = CType(value, Padding)
    Dim wpfButton As System.Windows.Controls.Button = host.Child


    Dim t As New Thickness(p.Left, p.Top, p.Right, p.Bottom)

    wpfButton.Margin = t

End Sub

The following code example shows how to replace the default mapping for the FlowDirection property on a WindowsFormsHost control.

// The ReplaceFlowDirectionMapping method replaces the  
// default mapping for the FlowDirection property.
private void ReplaceFlowDirectionMapping()
{
    wfHost.PropertyMap.Remove("FlowDirection");

    wfHost.PropertyMap.Add(
        "FlowDirection",
        new PropertyTranslator(OnFlowDirectionChange));
}

// The OnFlowDirectionChange method translates a 
// Windows Presentation Foundation FlowDirection value 
// to a Windows Forms RightToLeft value and assigns
// the result to the hosted control's RightToLeft property.
private void OnFlowDirectionChange(object h, String propertyName, object value)
{
    WindowsFormsHost host = h as WindowsFormsHost;
    System.Windows.FlowDirection fd = (System.Windows.FlowDirection)value;
    System.Windows.Forms.CheckBox cb = host.Child as System.Windows.Forms.CheckBox;

    cb.RightToLeft = (fd == System.Windows.FlowDirection.RightToLeft ) ? 
        RightToLeft.Yes : RightToLeft.No;
}

// The cb_CheckedChanged method handles the hosted control's
// CheckedChanged event. If the Checked property is true,
// the flow direction is set to RightToLeft, otherwise it is
// set to LeftToRight.
private void cb_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    System.Windows.Forms.CheckBox cb = sender as System.Windows.Forms.CheckBox;

    wfHost.FlowDirection = ( cb.CheckState == CheckState.Checked ) ? 
            System.Windows.FlowDirection.RightToLeft : 
            System.Windows.FlowDirection.LeftToRight;
}

' The ReplaceFlowDirectionMapping method replaces the
' default mapping for the FlowDirection property.
Private Sub ReplaceFlowDirectionMapping()

    wfHost.PropertyMap.Remove("FlowDirection")

    wfHost.PropertyMap.Add( _
        "FlowDirection", _
        New PropertyTranslator(AddressOf OnFlowDirectionChange))
End Sub


' The OnFlowDirectionChange method translates a 
' Windows Presentation Foundation FlowDirection value 
' to a Windows Forms RightToLeft value and assigns
' the result to the hosted control's RightToLeft property.
Private Sub OnFlowDirectionChange( _
ByVal h As Object, _
ByVal propertyName As String, _
ByVal value As Object)

    Dim host As WindowsFormsHost = h

    Dim fd As System.Windows.FlowDirection = _
        CType(value, System.Windows.FlowDirection)

    Dim cb As System.Windows.Forms.CheckBox = host.Child

    cb.RightToLeft = IIf(fd = System.Windows.FlowDirection.RightToLeft, _
        RightToLeft.Yes, _
        RightToLeft.No)

End Sub


' The cb_CheckedChanged method handles the hosted control's
' CheckedChanged event. If the Checked property is true,
' the flow direction is set to RightToLeft, otherwise it is
' set to LeftToRight.
Private Sub cb_CheckedChanged( _
ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As EventArgs)

    Dim cb As System.Windows.Forms.CheckBox = sender

    wfHost.FlowDirection = IIf(cb.CheckState = CheckState.Checked, _
    System.Windows.FlowDirection.RightToLeft, _
    System.Windows.FlowDirection.LeftToRight)

End Sub

Remarks

Use the PropertyMap class to define translations between Windows Forms properties and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) properties in a hybrid application. The ElementHost.PropertyMap and WindowsFormsHost.PropertyMap properties on the ElementHost and WindowsFormsHost classes define mappings from one technology to the other.

For more information, see Walkthrough: Mapping Properties Using the ElementHost Control and Walkthrough: Mapping Properties Using the WindowsFormsHost Element.

Constructors

PropertyMap()	Initializes a new instance of the PropertyMap class.
PropertyMap(Object)	Initializes a new instance of the PropertyMap class with the given source object.

Properties

DefaultTranslators	Gets a collection of property mappings which are defined by default.
Item[String]	Gets or sets the PropertyTranslator delegate for the given property.
Keys	Gets an ICollection object containing the property names in the PropertyMap collection.
SourceObject	Gets the object which has the properties to be translated.
Values	Gets an ICollection containing the property translators in the PropertyMap collection.

Methods

Add(String, PropertyTranslator)	Adds a PropertyTranslator delegate for the given property to the PropertyMap.
Apply(String)	Runs the property translator for the given property, based on the source object's current property value.
ApplyAll()	Runs the property translator for each mapped property, based on the source object's current property values.
Clear()	Removes all property mappings.
Contains(String)	Gets a value indicating whether the given property is mapped.
Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
Remove(String)	Deletes the given property from the mapping.
Reset(String)	Restores the default property mapping for the given property.
ResetAll()	Restores the default property mappings.
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)

Events

PropertyMappingError

Occurs when an exception is raised by a property translator.
