Adorners in Avalon

  • 项目

I’ve had a lot of questions about Adorners lately. Guess it’s about time to post an example. First, some background.

What is an Adorner?
In Avalon, an Adorner is a UI widget that can be applied to elements to allow a user to manipulate that element - resize, rotate, move, etc. Avalon does not provide concrete Adorners but it does provide the basic infrastructure. That means that you need to write your own, which is what I show in this posting. Some quick terms:

Adorner
This is a base Adorner from which you will need to subclass.

AdornerLayer
The AdornerLayer can be thought of as a plane in which the Adorners are drawn.

AdornedElement
The AdornedElement is the one to which the Adorner has been applied.

This Example
In this example, I author a CustomResizeAdorner which is applied to the children of a Canvas.  As the name implies, the CustomResizeAdorner allows the user to resize the AdornedElement.  The application markup looks like the following.  Notice the Canvas Named mainCanvas which contains a Button, ListBox and another Canvas.  The children of mainCanvas will be what I apply the CustomResizeAdorners to.

 <Window x:Class="AvalonApplication7.Window1"
xmlns="https://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/avalon/2005"
xmlns:x="https://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/xaml/2005"
Text="AvalonApplication7"
Loaded="StartUp">
<Canvas Name="mainCanvas">
<Button Canvas.Left="50" Canvas.Top="150">Hello world</Button>
<ListBox Canvas.Left="150" Canvas.Top="95" Height="80">
<ListBoxItem>Item 1</ListBoxItem>
<ListBoxItem>Item 2</ListBoxItem>
<ListBoxItem>Item 3</ListBoxItem>
<ListBoxItem>Item 4</ListBoxItem>
<ListBoxItem>Item 5</ListBoxItem>
</ListBox>
<Canvas Background="yellow" Width="40" Height="90" Canvas.Left="350" Canvas.Top="150"/>
</Canvas>
</Window>

I have also defined my Adorner corners with the following style and template in the application resources.

<Style TargetType="{x:Type Thumb}">
<Setter Property="Template" Value="{StaticResource AdornerTemplate}"/>
<Setter Property="Width" Value="15"/>
<Setter Property="Height" Value="15"/>
</Style>

<ControlTemplate x:Key="AdornerTemplate" TargetType="{x:Type Thumb}">
<Border Background="green" BorderThickness="1" BorderBrush="black" />
</ControlTemplate>
 

The result:
 

 After a few resizes.

Now, after some small tweaks the style for the corners, I have the following UI.

Again, after a few resizes:

The markup for the updated Adorner widgets is shown below.

<Style TargetType="{x:Type Thumb}">
<Setter Property="Template" Value="{StaticResource AdornerTemplate}"/>
<Setter Property="Width" Value="18"/>
<Setter Property="Height" Value="18"/>
</Style>

<ControlTemplate x:Key="AdornerTemplate" TargetType="{x:Type Thumb}">
<Border Background="VerticalGradient purple silver" Opacity=".65" BorderThickness="0" BorderBrush="Navy" CornerRadius="7,2,7,2">
<Border Background="VerticalGradient #DDFFDD purple" Margin="2" CornerRadius="5,2,5,2"/>
</Border>
</ControlTemplate>

Putting It All Together
I created this example on the May CTP bits using VS to create a new Avalon project. Below I have pasted in the three main files that I created for this example. I have added some rough comments to the code but the key is the CustomResizeAdorner. If you have question, feel free to contact me.
