Definition

Namespace:

System.Windows.Documents

Assembly:

PresentationFramework.dll

Resolves text effect on a text range to a list of text effect targets.

public:
 static cli::array <System::Windows::Documents::TextEffectTarget ^> ^ Resolve(System::Windows::Documents::TextPointer ^ startPosition, System::Windows::Documents::TextPointer ^ endPosition, System::Windows::Media::TextEffect ^ effect);

public static System.Windows.Documents.TextEffectTarget[] Resolve (System.Windows.Documents.TextPointer startPosition, System.Windows.Documents.TextPointer endPosition, System.Windows.Media.TextEffect effect);

static member Resolve : System.Windows.Documents.TextPointer * System.Windows.Documents.TextPointer * System.Windows.Media.TextEffect -> System.Windows.Documents.TextEffectTarget[]

Public Shared Function Resolve (startPosition As TextPointer, endPosition As TextPointer, effect As TextEffect) As TextEffectTarget()

Parameters

startPosition

TextPointer

The starting text pointer.

endPosition

TextPointer

The end text pointer.

effect

TextEffect

The effect to apply on the text.

Returns

TextEffectTarget[]

Collection of TextEffectTarget objects corresponding to the text range.

Examples

The following example shows how to apply a TranslateTransform, ScaleTransform, and RotateTransform text effect to text. Below is the XAML for the example.

        // Disable all existing text effects to make way for new ones.
        private void DisableTextEffects()
        {
            if (_textEffectTargets != null)
            {
                foreach (TextEffectTarget target in _textEffectTargets) 
                     target.Disable();
            }
        }

        // Enable TextEffectTargets and apply effect to TextBlock.
        private void EnableTextEffects(TextBlock tb, TextEffect effect)
        {
            _textEffectTargets = TextEffectResolver.Resolve(tb.ContentStart, tb.ContentEnd, effect);
            foreach (TextEffectTarget target in _textEffectTargets)
                target.Enable();           
        }

        private TextEffectTarget[] _textEffectTargets; 
    }
}

Remarks

For each continuous block of text, this method creates a text effect targeting the scoping (parent) element.
