Thread Safety

Members of this class are thread-safe if you previously called IXRApplication::CreateHostFromXaml and supplied it with an XRWindowCreateParams structure that has AllowsMultipleThreadAccess set to true.

Remarks

IXRFrameworkElement provides a framework of common APIs for creating or changing elements that comply with the XAML for Windows Embedded layout system, enabling the layout system to arrange them on the screen at run time.

IXRFrameworkElement extends IXRUIElement and adds the following capabilities:

• Layout   XAML for Windows Embedded implements its layout system to recognize elements that derive from IXRFrameworkElement. It also reads several different properties that are defined at that level, such as the MinWidth property that IXRFrameworkElement::GetMinWidth retrieves. It provides extensible methods for layout behavior that both panel objects and controls can override in their class implementations.
• Object-lifetime events   It is frequently useful to know when the element is first loaded-when it is attached to an element tree that connects to the root of the visual tree. You can attach delegates to the Loaded event, providing useful hooks for C++ code-behind operations, such as adding child elements or setting properties on child elements just before they are used.

Many common classes in XAML for Windows Embedded derive from IXRFrameworkElement, either directly or through intermediate base classes such as IXRPanel or IXRControl.

To position an object derived from IXRFrameworkElement on the screen, you can specify its offsets by calling IXRFrameworkElement::SetMargin. Or, you can set its attached properties Canvas.Left and Canvas.Top by calling IXRDependencyObject::SetAttachedProperty(const WCHAR*, const WCHAR*, float).

The element tree provides access to IXRFrameworkElement objects. The visual host provides access to the root of the element tree. After you create a visual host for your application, you can retrieve an IXRFrameworkElement pointer to its root element by calling IXRVisualHost::GetRootElement.

IXRFrameworkElement provides support for several basic scenarios, but lacks some extended features that are desirable for creating UI in XAML. Many of these aspects are instead present on IXRControl or other immediate subclasses of IXRFrameworkElement.

If you find you need to create a class instance, use an IXRFrameworkElementPtr smart pointer instead of a raw interface pointer. For more information, see XRPtr<Interface>.
