Classes for Visual Appearance (Compact 2013)

3/28/2014

The list below describes the classes that you can use to define the appearance and behavior of individual elements or groups of elements in XAML for Windows Embedded, a native (C++) UI development framework for Windows Embedded Compact powered devices that is founded on Microsoft Silverlight 3.

Classes for Drawing and Painting Graphic Elements

Class	Description
IXRArcSegment	Represents an elliptical arc between two points.
IXRBezierSegment	Represents a cubic Bézier curve drawn between two points.
IXRBrush	Defines objects that are used to paint graphical objects.
IXRCustomEffect	Used internally by XAML for Windows Embedded to represent a custom shader effect that can be applied to a visual element to change its appearance.
IXRDataTemplate	Describes the visual structure of a data object.
IXREffect	Represents the base class for all shader effects.
IXREllipseGeometry	Represents the geometry of a circle or ellipse.
IXRGeometry	Provides a base class for objects that define geometric shapes.
IXRGeometryGroup	Represents a composite geometry composed of other IXRGeometry objects.
IXRGradientBrush	Serves as an abstract base class that describes a gradient pattern, used to paint with, composed of gradient stops.
IXRGradientStop	Describes the location and color of a transition point in a gradient pattern.
IXRImageBrush	Paints an area with an image.
IXRLinearGradientBrush	Paints an area with a linear gradient.
IXRLineGeometry	Represents the geometry of a line.
IXRLineSegment	Represents a line drawn between two points that can be part of an IXRPathFigure within IXRPath data.
IXRPathFigure	Represents a subsection of a geometry; a single connected series of two-dimensional geometric segments.
IXRPathGeometry	Represents a complex shape that may be composed of arcs, curves, ellipses, lines, and rectangles.
IXRPathSegment	Represents a segment of an IXRPathFigure object.
IXRPolyBezierSegment	Represents one or more cubic Bézier curves.
IXRPolyLineSegment	Represents a set of line segments defined by an IXRPointCollection with each XRPoint specifying the endpoint of a line segment.
IXRPolyQuadraticBezierSegment	Represents a set of quadratic Bézier segments.
IXRQuadraticBezierSegment	Represents a quadratic Bézier curve between two points in an IXRPathFigure.
IXRRadialGradientBrush	Paints an area with a radial gradient. A focal point defines the beginning of the gradient, and a circle defines the endpoint of the gradient.
IXRRectangleGeometry	Describes a two-dimensional rectangular geometry.
IXRSolidColorBrush	Paints an area with a solid color.
IXRStyle	Contains a collection of objects used to set properties that can be shared between instances of a specific type.
IXRTileBrush	Provides a base class for painting a region by using one or more tiles.

Classes for Appearance-Related Templates

Class	Description
IXRControlTemplate	Represents the element tree that is applied as a control template for a control.
IXRFrameworkTemplate	Represents an element tree of elements parsed from XAML.
IXRItemsPanelTemplate	Specifies the layout of the panel for items of an IXRItemsControl object.

Classes for Visual Transformation

Class	Description
IXRCompositeTransform	Represents a set of multiple transforms to apply to an object.
IXRGeneralTransform	Provides general support for applying transformations to UI elements, such as points and rectangles.
IXRMatrix	Represents a two-dimensional plane that has four flexible quadrants.
IXRMatrixTransform	Creates an arbitrary affine matrix transformation that is used to manipulate UI objects or coordinate systems in a two-dimensional plane.
IXRMatrix3D	Represents a three-dimensional (3-D) space that is represented by a 4 × 4 matrix.
IXRMatrix3DProjection	Represents 3-D transformation that you apply to a UI object by using IXRUIElement::SetProjection.
IXRPlaneProjection	Represents a 3-D transformation that you apply to a UI object by using IXRUIElement::SetProjection.
IXRProjection	Represents the base class for a projection, which transforms a UI object in 3-D space.
IXRRotateTransform	Used to rotate an object clockwise around a specified point in a two-dimensional coordinate system.
IXRScaleTransform	Applies a size transformation to a UI object in the two-dimensional x-coordinate and y-coordinate system.
IXRSkewTransform	Represents a two-dimensional skew applied to an object.
IXRTransform	Defines transformations in a two-dimensional plane on the graphical window.
IXRTransformGroup	Represents a composite transformation object that is composed of other objects derived from IXRTransform.
IXRTranslateTransform	Translates the location of an object in the two-dimensional x-coordinate and y-coordinate system.

Classes for Visual Appearance of Control States and State Transitions

Class	Description
IXRVisualState	Represents the visual appearance of the control when it is in a specific state.
IXRVisualStateGroup	Contains mutually exclusive IXRVisualState objects and IXRVisualTransition objects that are applied when a user control goes from one state to another state.
IXRVisualTransition	Represents the visual behavior that occurs when the control transitions from one state to another.

Classes for Styles

Class	Description
IXRSetter	Sets a property value for a style.
IXRSetterBase	Represents the base class for value-setting objects.
IXRStyle	Contains a collection of value-setting objects that can be shared between instances of a type.

Classes for Triggers

Class	Description
IXRBeginStoryboard	Represents a trigger action that begins a storyboard and distributes its animations to their targeted objects and properties.
IXREventTrigger	Represents a trigger that applies a set of actions, also known as animation storyboards, in response to an event.
IXRTriggerAction	Serves as the base class for IXRBeginStoryboard.
IXRTriggerBase	Serves as the base class for IXREventTrigger.
