WPF absolute positioning in InkCanvas
- by Nilu
Hi,
I'm trying to position a rectangle in an InkCanvas. I am using the following method. Unfortunately when I add the rectangle it gets displayed at (0,0). Although when I query to see the whether the left property is 0 I get a non zero values. Does anyone know why this might be?
Cheers,
Nilu
InkCanvas _parent = new InkCanvas();
private void AddDisplayRect(Color annoColour, Rect bounds)
{
Rectangle displayRect = new Rectangle();
Canvas.SetTop(displayRect, bounds.Y);
Canvas.SetLeft(displayRect, bounds.X);
// check to see if the property is set
Trace.WriteLine(Canvas.GetLeft(displayRect));
displayRect.Width = bounds.Width;
displayRect.Height = bounds.Height;
displayRect.Stroke = new SolidColorBrush(annoColour);
displayRect.StrokeThickness = 1;
_parent.Children.Add(displayRect);
}
