I was hoping to use dynamic background images with Caliburn.Micro. This is what I have tried without success.
<Grid>
<Grid.Background>
<ImageBrush x:Name="MyPhoto" />
</Grid.Background>
</Grid>
//some view model
public class ImageViewModel
{
public ImageSource MyPhoto {get;set;}
}
//Add Convention
//App.XAML.cs
...
public override void Configure()
{
...
ConventionManager.AddElementConvention<ImageBrush>(ImageBrush.ImageSourceProperty, "ImageSource", "Loaded");
...
}
Is it possible to bind and ImageBrush's ImageSource with Caliburn.Micro or is there a better way to do this?
Not sure but I think AddElementConvention
works only for UIElement
s not DependencyObject
s. This should work, though:
MainPage.xaml
:
<Grid x:Name="MyBrush">
</Grid>
MainPageViewModel.cs
:
public class MainPageViewModel : Screen
{
public MainPageViewModel()
{
MyPhoto = new BitmapImage(new Uri("ms-appx:///Assets/SplashScreen.png"));
}
public ImageSource MyPhoto { get; set; }
public ImageBrush MyBrush
{
get
{
ImageBrush brush = new ImageBrush();
brush.ImageSource = MyPhoto;
return brush;
}
}
}
App.xaml.cs
:
protected override void Configure()
{
container = new WinRTContainer();
container.RegisterWinRTServices();
ConventionManager.AddElementConvention<Grid>(Grid.BackgroundProperty, "Background", "Loaded");
}
Alternatively you could do the binding by hand in XAML:
<Grid>
<Grid.Background>
<ImageBrush ImageSource="{Binding MyPhoto}" />
</Grid.Background>
</Grid>
